A pleasant stroll from Braithwaite, initially climbing the lower slopes of Barrow to enjoy outstanding views of the hidden gem that is the Newlands Valley. After a short descent into the valley along a quiet country lane and then over farmland to the tiny hamlet of Stair, the walk returns along the banks of Newlands Beck.

This is a still a lovely walk but the path beside the beck on the return section is closed part way along. There is no notice of this on the footpath sign from the road. The options are to either continue along the minor road in the direction of Swinside, turning left at the Swinside Inn back towards Little Braithwaite or to follow the signed diversion through Uzzicar Farm back to the original route out.

A lovely walk, quite easy but still giving the Lake District views we all love for little effort. A few of the directions need updating as things have changed on the ground. WW advised. The riverside section was quite flooded (due to heavy rain) so boots are advised at most times of the year on this walk. Walked 13.08.08. 9/10.
