The A walk will be led by Ali and is approximately 11.5 miles and 1542 feet
Starting near Mill Side, the trail heads through Sidybank Wood towards Row. After Row we walk around Whitbarrow Nature Reserve, then the trail heads to Lord’s Seat. After Lord’s Seat we head through Buckhouse Wood, along the path to Beck Heads, and on a winding road through the woods and back to Witherslack.
The B walk will be led by John and is approximately 9 miles and 1540 feet. Highest point 705 feet
The route starts from the Derby Arms and we walk in a northerly direction through fields and woods to Witherslack Hall Farm. We then turn east passing the historic Oversands School building and start our steepish ascent of Whitbarrow Scar, in places there are slight scrambles, but we will take our time. On reaching the top we carry on to the Cairn at Lord’s Seat, giving us (hopefully) panoramic views of Kents Estuary, Morecambe Bay and the Lake District mountains. The route continues northwards into Whitbarrow National Nature Reserve to Gillbirks, where we turn southwards through the woods to Rawsons Farm. From here the walk is on paths and quiet lanes via Millside Hamlet and Town End back to the Derby Arms.
The C walk will be led by Paul and is approximately 6 miles and flat
The start is near Gilpin Bridge, then along a lane to High Foulshaw. We follow the coast path past Middle and Low Foulshaw farms to Crag Cottage, then head inland past Ulpha, under the A590 and on to the Derby Arms.
