The Westmorland and Furness Way is a walking route in Westmorland and Furness, north-west England. It connects Alston, in the Pennines in the north of the council area, and Furness Abbey, near Barrow-in-Furness in the south west, and passes through the North Pennines National Landscape, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District National Park.Includes map showing the route
It was officially opened on 15 September 2026, at an event in Sedbergh which formed part of the town's annual Walking and Wellbeing Festival.
The route was developed by Westmorland and Furness Council, which was established in 2023. The council said that the route would "celebrate the geography and spectacular scenery of Westmorland and Furness" and would bring visitors to the area and benefit the economy of local communities.
