High Knott - 5 miles, 620 ft ascent - grade leisurely to moderate
Meet at Ullthwaite Bridge (on road between Staveley and Kentmere) 2pm
Much
of this walk is on good footpaths and bridlepaths and includes good
views of the Kentmere horseshoe. We pass close to High
Knott/Williamson's Memorial and the remains of an ancient British
Settlement. The stile to High Knott is passable but tricky.
We
leave Ullthwaite Bridge walking south passing Browfoot farm and then
over fields. North along the bridleway for two miles crossing Park Beck
via stepping stones. South downhill passing woodland and a disused
cottage and back to Ullthwaite Bridge. This walk is in Wainwright's
'The Outlying Fells of Lakeland' pages 18-21.
There
is only space for a few cars at Ullthwaite Bridge so please share if
possible. Please let me know if you are coming 07796 162828. Sarah.
