At the south end of the Lake District is Sizergh Castle, an easy stop from the main route into the Lakes. An old castle, interesting gardens, a good visitor centre, large car park, and plenty of walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk below is the 5ish mile circle from Sizergh to St John’s at Helsingham Church with it’s distant views. Then continuing over the cattle grid and turning left down the steep hill into Brigsteer. Left again to the gate that takes the path back to Sizergh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the gardens at Sizergh. Its maples take a good colour in Autumn but there is plenty of other planting including a national collection of ferns. Nice cockerals as well. In the barn is a display about the life cycle of trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
