Walks in Cumbria

Not many people know that there are two National Parks that contain bits of Cumbria – the wonderful Lake District & the gentle pretty Westmorland Dales.

We run events both in the parks and also in beautiful quiet corners of the county – details can be found below.

Millom Weekly Walk & Talk

29 Jul 24 - 11:00 AM
The weekly Walk & Talk leaves from Millom Safe Space (aka Tin Chapel / Pensioners Hall) around 11am every week. These weekly walks are a gentle, easy & safe way to meet other folks, have a natter, take your mind off life’s worries for a while. We’ll usually have a wander out to the coast and maybe round the sea wall or through the reserve, sometimes we only go as far as the benches by the pool – we want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to attend so we’re putting on walks you can all attend.

Smardale Reserve Big Day Out

09 Aug 24 - 11:30
A slightly longer journey time - but wow is it worth it. Smardale Gill is one of the secret beautiful places of Cumbria. We'll head out on a really good track that's almost perfectly flat (it's the old railway line). Along the way we might get to see the local red squirrels - but we'll also definitely see two stunning viaducts as well as some truly stunning scenery.

High Dam & Stott Park Bobbin Mill

21 Aug 24 - 10:00 AM
This picturesque walk starts at High Dam car park and takes in stunning scenery and views of the Southern Lake District Fells. From the car park we head up to a man-made tarn along gravel and woodland paths before continuing on through open fields and woodlands around Finsthwaite. There will be a rest break at Stott Park Bobbin Mill, a 19-century bobbin mill and museum. The route is undulating with short uphill sections but a stunning and easy paced walk.
