The walk leaves the Water Board car park at Legburthwaite and quickly climbs a low ridge among pine-trees. As the higher points of the ridge are reached, the terrain becomes moorland and superb views open up of Skiddaw and Blencathra. A drop to the little church of St John's leads to a path more or less following St John's Beck and passing the back of a farm, before one last climb to reach the starting point.
The walk has all the feel of being on the high tops but without the climbing. I would rate this highly as a family walk.
