Terms of Use & Safety Disclaimer

Last updated: August 2026.

These terms govern your use of furnessway.co.uk (the "site"), operated under the name furnessway.co.uk ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Walking safety disclaimer — please read

Hill and long‑distance walking carries inherent risks. The route descriptions, distances, difficulty ratings, elevation figures, maps, GPX and GeoJSON files on this site are provided for general guidance only and may contain errors or be out of date. The Westmorland and Furness Way is still being developed ahead of its official Autumn 2026 opening, and paths, waymarking, diversions, transport and facilities can change without notice.

You are responsible for your own safety. Always carry appropriate maps (such as OS Explorer 1:25,000), navigation equipment and clothing, check the weather and current conditions, and assess your own fitness and experience before setting out. You use all route information and GPX files entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss, injury, or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content.

Accuracy of information

We work to keep the information accurate and up to date and we flag details that are provisional or need checking, but we make no warranty that the content is complete, current or error‑free. Nothing on this site is official guidance from Westmorland and Furness Council or any other authority. Always confirm details against official and up‑to‑date sources before you travel.

Use of GPX and route files

GPX and GeoJSON files are provided free for personal, non‑commercial use to help you plan and follow the route. They are derived from publicly available data and may not exactly match waymarking on the ground. Do not rely on them as your sole means of navigation.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the text, design and original content on this site are © furnessway.co.uk and may not be copied or republished in full without permission. You are welcome to link to our pages. Route data derived from third‑party or public sources remains subject to those sources' terms.

Links to third‑party sites

The site contains links to external websites we do not control (for example transport, accommodation and official council pages). We provide these for convenience and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

Advertising

This site may display third‑party advertising (see our privacy policy). We are not responsible for the content of adverts or the products and services they promote.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
