A tranquil walk in the much quieter undulating foothills of south-east Lakeland, with the higher fells forming a delightful backdrop and with stunning distant views of the sea and sands of Morecambe Bay, seen from the higher parts of the walk. The walk starts from the quaint hamlet of Crosthwaite, which is a scattering of cottages and farms and takes in quiet country lanes, old walled tracks and fine pastureland. The walk also includes a visit to St Catherine's old tower, which was built in 1620 and is all that remains of what was the manor chapel for Crook Hall.

No longer able to park in front of the community hall so parking can be a problem. Lovely walk, best saved for a nice day as can be wet in places.
