B Walk from Arnside 2018

Walk Leader: Beverley Kelly
Walk Distance: 7+ Miles
Total Ascent/Descent: 1040 ft

 This is a delightful walk starting at Milnthorpe Bridge so we will be getting of the bus before Arnside. Please be ready.

Dallam Deer Park

We walk through Dallam Deer Park towards the little village of Beetham full of historic interest. we should have a view of the deer as well as time to view the mill and take pictures of the quant buildings. 

Beetham Church

From there we head towards the Fairy Steps on Whin Scar where you might see a fairy if you can descend without touching the sides. We now head downhill towards Hazelslack Tower, one of the watch towers erected to protect from the maurading scots and now preserved ruins, then onwards towards a similar tower at Arnside Tower Farm.

The Fairy Steps

Time to climb a little as we aim for Arnside Knott, just skirting the top but enough to get the views, then down through Copridding Woods and the beach at New Barns. This is an interesting return to Arnside over rocks, sea washed turf and sand, passing the lifeboat station and back along the promenade for refreshments and the pretty estuary views from the pier.
