Clapham is quite simply one of the prettiest villages you could care to imagine. It truly is like something out of a postcard.
Through the centre of the villages runs Clapham Beck, which is crossed by a series of old stone bridges. The slate-roofed houses around it are built from the same or similar stone, with most of them dating back to the 18^th century..........more

The C Walk starts with a coffee and tea cake in a local tea shop in Clapham.  We leave the village of Clapham and walk east along a path, across fields, through kissing gates and on towards Austwick. We pass through the quiet little village of Austwick and then north and up to the erratics, - a geological term for a large rock that is out of place, as depicted by their composition.  We head west; pass under Robin Proctor’s Scar and back to Clapham in time for a well-deserved drink.
