START POINT: Cartmel Racecourse Car Park at 11am. Directions www.cartmelvillage.com/directions.html
DISTANCE: 4 miles.
TIME: 2-2.5 hours.
GRADE: 2 (due to some steep grass farmland and a few stiles).
LEADER: Jen 07955390335 please text if attending.
DESCRIPTION: a short route through the pretty village of Cartmel and up Hampsfield Fell (Hampsfell). Short but long enough to walk off some Christmas indulgence! Meet at the racecourse pay and display carpark (alternative free parking in village but please meet at racecourse carpark). From there we walk through the village, past the sticky toffee shop, church and up Hampsfell. At the top there is a hospice shelter and lovely views on a clear day. We follow the waymarkers back down to Cartmel village where there are numerous pubs and cafes. This walk is suitable for children but there are some steep muddy parts and stiles. Dogs allowed but may need to be on a lead on the farmland.
