Kingmoor North is a wildlife haven sandwiched between a growing industrial city.  Although quite small in size the nature reserve has some impressive features and interesting history, such as:

A cycleway running from the South to the North of the site.

The site was designated as a nature reserve in 1913, making it the oldest in Cumbria.

Join us to find out more about the history of the site and see if you can spot a squirrel scampering up a tree!!

A walk round Watchtree Nature Reserve. A variety of routes are used so each week is slightly different!

There is an abundance of wildlife on the reserve so we are always on the lookout for birds, flowers and even deer.

The walk ends up in the café!

Although dogs are welcome, they must be kept on a lead at all times.

A monthly walk with 2 meeting points, either outside the doctor’s surgery in Wigton at 10am, by the bus stop, or at the bench near the toadstool in Phoenix park at 10.15am.

It is a circular route and will vary depending on weather and the ability of those who come. But may include a walk from Phoenix park down the cycle path, along the road, around Showfields (can be very soggy in bad weather), back to the cycle path, around the new gravel paths, back to Phoenix park then either through the allotments and back to the doctors, or complete the route round phoenix park then back to the doctors, or complete the route round phoenix park the back to the doctors.

Walk and wonder a fairly easy trail which is accessible to anyone on foot. Good walking shoes required. Time to walk and talk as well as taking in the beauty of the area.

The walk takes about 30 minutes, has a mixture of surfaces including gravel paths, grassy areas, steps, (but an alternate route is possible) and a bit of a hill on a tarmac surface, there are plenty of places to stop for a rest. Parking and toilet facilities are on site.

 

Red squirrels and even an otter have been spotted in the grounds as well as a wide variety of plants.

 

 

A walk above the Eden Valley, with extensive views of the Pennines, Howgill and 
Lakeland Fells to visit Long Meg and her daughters stone circle. 
This is one of the largest Neolithic stone circles, dating back to at least 1500 BC.  
Perhaps you will hear Long Meg whisper, if you put your ear close to her. 
Having walked around the stone circle we will then walk to the lovely church of St 
Michaels & All Saints at Addingham.  This is either a linear walk or a circular walk.

Appreciate the vastness of Northumberland as we head out West towards the border with Cumbria.  This 7-mile walk takes in the heights of Walltown Crags before following the combined long-distance walking routes of Hadrian’s Wall Path and the Pennine Way to Green Croft, returning via Greenhead. 

Walking along the Wall and the Vallum, we are once again in the midst of amazing historical treasures.  Aside from ruins of the Wall itself, we will walk past Milecastle 45, Thirlwall Castle and across Magna Roman Fort, home to two of the most exotic Roman regiments to have served in Roman Britain, the Syrian archers and the Dalmatian mountain soldiers.  If we are lucky, we might eve see the archaeologists at work on the Fort.

We plan to lunch at Green Croft on the Wall, home to Green Croft Arts led by Amanda Drago & Kit Haigh.  During lockdown, Green Croft Arts commissioned a beautiful soundwalk, Collison and Conflict, which you can tap into on our walk. Details of how to do this are in the route information.

This really is a walk that combines some of Northumberland’s greatest treasures: its landscape, its history and, of course, its arts and culture.  You are very welcome!

Get out and about with others in your community to enjoy a walk and a chat and enjoy the wonderful local surroundings. All walks last about an hour - shorter 30 minute walk options will also be available on most dates. After each walk there will be an opportunity to have a chat over a cup of tea and home-made cake in the VIC, Culgaith's community cafe, where you can find out more information about our walk programme and details of other community events. Leaving Edenhall we walk down to the River Eden keeping an eye out for heron, swans and ducks. Then we follow the riverside through the trees – tree roots provide some trip hazards! Then we wind our way up and back to the village. Wet weather makes the walk particularly tricky so we have an alternative route down to the riverside. We then detour to St Cuthbert’s Church where we study one of the many beautiful stained glass windows to try to find the exotic animal.

A lovely walk around the War Memorial Recreation Ground, St Mungo’s Park in Aspatria. Join us for a stroll around the park; a gentle walk on a flat paved surface. We do two loops of the whole park and will involve partly walking on the grass. The walk takes approximately 30 minutes, plenty of seating if anyone needs to stop. Meeting at the large wooden gates and pillar – main entrance to the park.

From the lodge, this walk leads down the picturesque no through road towards the very small hamlet of Udford. There are stunning views of The Pennines and the ‘fluorescent’ radar dome on the summit of Great Dun Fell. Also Cross Fell at nearly 3,000 feet, the highest hill on The Pennine Chain, is also visible from the walk. Cross Fell is infamous for the only named wind in the UK called The Helm wind and on many days the very distinctive Helm Bar can be seen hanging over it. Wildlife may be seen, including Fallow Deer and the Common buzzard, plus the elusive Red Squirrel hopping along the roadside wall.

Walking is great exercise, and incorporating the use of walking poles (sometimes called Nordic Walking) makes the activity more accessible for those with movement or balance disorders, or who have ankle, knee or hip problems.

Each session starts with an introduction to pole walking techniques and a gentle warm-up, followed by a flat walk along the promenade and The Green lasting approximately 45 minutes.

A gentle, flat walk along the promenade, approximately 45 minutes.

Join this fortnightly walk through the picturesque grounds of the Lowther estate from Eamont Bridge towards the Lowther caravan park. If you are in luck, you may see some deer or red squirrels! Our intention for this group is to provide a gentle, inclusive route with opportunities to be active and socialise whilst walking together. All welcome - walkers, parents with buggies, and wheel chair users who want to get out in the fresh air for around an hour.  The full 2.5 mile walk is fairly flat along an out and back route which provides scope for rests, shorter distance or the whole hog – join us and walk as far as you feel comfortable.
