29th January 2025 a 4-5 mile circular walk from the Sizergh Castle Visitor Centre in a Clockwise direction via Brigsteer. Taking in attractive views over the Lake District and Lyth Valley towards Morecambe Bay and Arnside.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting off west on the new path for easy walking, passing sheep, keep dogs on lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the path is a large gate onto the road leading to Brigsteer. An alternative is go slightly right across the road through the woodland on a woodland type path which by-passes the next two photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road also goes through the wood until you reach a cottage when you continue between hedges for a couple of hundred yards. This is a favourite spot and the Cottage has a lot of flowers in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching Brigsteer turn right at the pub. Quite a nice spot. Here is a steep road climb, about 300 feet, giving great views over the Lyth Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve taken an easy route by walking anti-clockwise from Sizergh you can get here with a shorter climb but still steep. Near here is St John’s at Helsingham a tiny hilltop church that you can go inside. Very peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seat gives a great view over the Lake District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at Sizergh. In the Visitor Centre you can obtain tickets to the Castle and Garden, NT members go in free, and park for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
