Overview

From Milldale we follow the more challenging path on the western side of the river before crossing over the footbridge at Ilam rock and then we take the conventional track on the eastern side of the river down to the Stepping Stones at Thorpe. We stay on the Thorpe side of the river (tricky in places) crossing the river further down over the footbridge. We take the track around the base of Bunster Hill into Ilam and then on through field paths and uncut meadows to Rushley, Castern Hall and Damgate and onwards to Milldale.
