A “Must do” walk in the Lake District

Charlie took Christine here for their first date in Cumbria & it has really special memories for us. The National Trust Aira Force Waterfall is delightful rain or shine and all times of the year. You can even take a stroller up the first section or extend out up and over Gowbarrow Fell for a more challenging hike and fabulous views over Ullswater. We have set out three routes starting at the National Trust car park at the base of the fells & finishing back there. We also recommend going straight to the welcoming tea shop just off the car park after your hike. We show this walk on all of the three pages since there are routes of different duration depending on preference.

Walks from Blencowe Hall, Riverain, Cazenovia Hall and Wythburn and the Blencowe Hall shepherds huts

A run or gentle walk from Blencowe just under four miles – head out from Blencowe Hall, left into the village, over the stone bridge crossing the Petterill and on through the village to the farm on the rhs then watch carefully for the public footpath sign which leads you onto a bridleway through the fields (with a great view back over Blencowe Hall) and then on to Greystoke and around back via the quiet country road joining Greystoke and Blencowe.

Walks from Glassonby (Glassonby Old Hall, Jenny’s Croft and Elk Cottage)

In addition to the detailed walking plan attached below for a loop walk to Kirkoswald, we often run from Glassonby turning right from Hall heading towards Gamblesby then turn right on the hairpin turn just before entering the village (if you see the old fashioned village stocks you have gone too far!) then returning up the other side of the triangle heading to Maughanby School House Corner before turning right again to reach Glassonby then right at the bus shelter by the Village Green to reach the cottages again. This is about 4 miles.

There are great views up onto the Pennines from here and fantastic walks from the front door along the unadopted cart tracks which have now become bridleways, footpaths and green lanes. Please see the attachments below for a medium length walk suggestion leading from Glassonby to Kirkoswald and back.
