We are the Cheshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Strenuous - Approx 14 miles and 4000ft ascent.
The walk is a circular walk from Hartsop starting with a long, steady climb up to The Knott, then on to High Street, Kidsty Pike and High Raise. The paths up are good and no scrambling, but there is a bit of an off piste descent down the side of Meer Beck followed by a sting in the tail, as we have to climb up and over Beda Fell on the other side of the valley to get back to Hartsop. Amazing views all day if the weather is good!
Post walk drinks at the Brotherswater Inn.
Directions
Post code CA11 0NY. NY409131
Leave M6 at J36, follow A591 past Windermere, turn right at a roundabout for The Kirkstone Pass A592. Soon after The Brotherswater Inn, turn right at the sign to Hartsop. Please try to car share as much as possible, it's better for the environment and you can share petrol/car parking costs.
In Hartsop, there are 2 carparks both £5 for all day, the first one is on the left in a field, the second one is at the top of the of the road but often full, so use the first carpark and we will meet there. No toilets at the start.
Meet at the first carpark which is a field on the left as you enter Hartsop
