Other walks in the area
From Mayburgh Henge to Brougham Castle

This flat, linear walk will allow you to discover some English Heritage with Mayburgh Henge and Brougham Castle while enjoying a riverside walk along River Eamont. Nearby you can also visit King Arthur's Round Table.
Knock Fell

A circular walk dominated throughout by the giant golf ball that is the radar station at Great Dunn Fell. You will use some good roads, some tracks and the Pennine Way on this walk.
It is worth downloading the Knock Geotrail leaflet from the link I have listed below as it provides more information on the geology of the area than given in my description. Similarly, you could follow the link to the Discover Britain webpage and learn about the Helm Wind which is particular to the Cross Fell area.
Dunmallard Hill Settlement, Pooley Hill

This circular walk brings you along River Eamont before going up into the woodlands around Dunmallard Hill. On the way enjoy views of the countryside and over Ullswater loch.
Long Meg and Raven Beck

Dog friendly circular walk from the village of Kirkoswald to the stone circle of Long Meg and her Daughters.
Howtown to Patterdale; Lakeside

A lovely amble around the Southern Eastern shore of Ullswater with great views. An excellent family walk if combined with the Ullswater Steamer from Glenridding.
Bowderdale and the Calf

The Howgill Fells offer excellent walking with few other people sharing the landscape. This walk follows Bowderdale deep into the area before climbing steadily to the highest point in this group of fells. The return route offers grandstand views as you follow a lofty ridge back to the start.
