Starting along Ghyll path we take the north path up to the Hoad monument where there are stunning views of the surrounding area.

From there we turn south passing Osmotherley St John's church to Hollowmire, Higher Lath, Old Hall farm and back to Ulverston along the Cumbria Way. There are 8 stiles. It is to be expected that it will be wet and muddy in places. Care will we needed as we walk through 4 working farms during the day.

Retracing our steps we continue via St Mary’s Mount to the A590 crossing at the traffic lights, then walking North East to Canal Head. From here the walk is flat and easy with even paths and lots of wildlife. The Canal is 1.25 miles long ending at Canal Foot with views over Morecambe Bay. We make our way back into Ulverston via The Ropewalk.    1 sturdy stile.
