Overview

Advanced booking essential for this walk if you are not part of Stockport Ramblers weekend away. To book contact the walk leader Peter Worsley 07887 572002.

The walk starts at Arnside Pier free roadside parking Grid ref: SD 456 789. Parking in Arnside is limited especially on a bank holiday weekend so if you are on the Stockport Ramblers weekend away car sharing is essential. It is an 11 mile circular walk with 1100 feet of ascent, Stockport Ramblers grade B.  We will walk southwest along the coast path taking in Blackstone Point and Far Arnside. Tide permitting we will take a path which can be narrow and exposed in places, otherwise we will follow a woodland path through Arnside Park Woods. We then ascend Arnside Knott where we will have great views of Morecambe Bay and the South Lakes peaks, if weather permits. We then descend to Arnside Tower then on over to Haweswater and on to Hazelslack and then back to Arnside.

Please note the geology in this area is Limestone so paths can be slippery when wet. 

NO DOGS.
