This is a longer walk, a stunning combination of riverside and fellside territory. There is one awkward scramble, only for the fit, but it can be avoided - the rest of the walk is straightforward.
This is a short but sweet walk in the village, good for quickly blowing away
the cobwebs, or to take a look at some of the “sights”. It takes
about 20 minutes of steady walking, a bit more if you look at some of the points
of interest.
This is a favourite walk for local people - up the fellside
through the woods by a beck, along the fell wall under Blencathra, with beautiful
views across to Clough Head, down and back through fields. It takes 40 minutes
of steady walking, more if you stop to admire the views.
This is an easy stroll, taking about 40 minutes, with long views down St John’s
in the Vale, Catbells and Derwentwater prominent in the west. It is mainly on
tracks through woods and fields, with sections on tarmac road.
