Overview

Starting near the picturesque village of Bampton Grange we shall ascend Knipe Scar Common via a little road walking and Low Scarside barn. The climb is steady but manageable and the elevation gain of 100 metres (328 feet) is spread out over the first half of the hike. We shall then enjoy the mile long terrace path with views to Haweswater Reservoir and the surrounding fells. We shall then descend to the path following the river Lowther and return to Bampton Grange.
