Arncar three

Slow Way not verified yet. Verify Arncar here.

Starting from Carnforth the route proceeds, as per Arncar one, on the road north past the Steamtown railway site and across the River Keer to Millhead and then across fields to Warton with good views of Warton Crag. These fields regularly flood in the winter in which case the road may be followed. Passing through Warton the route heads north uphill along Coach Road and affords good views back over to the Lune valley.
The route bears left on the Occupation Road through the woods to exit at Crag Foot. It is a very pleasant track but a bit stony in parts and can be slippery when wet. From Crag Foot there is a short road section, then the track heads west towards the RSPB hides. At Quaker’s Stang, take the well-used path along the top of the grassy embankment, built as protection against the tides. The embankment path is scheduled to be the route taken by the English Coastal Path. The next section can be wet and prone to flooding at very high tides and leads to Brown’s Houses. Despite the notices the route at the bottom of the house gardens is an official Public Right of Way. This path is much safer to use. It exits onto Lindeth Road which is followed into Silverdale. There are good views across the estuary. Passing the road leading to the shore, a narrow squeeze stile takes the route onto The Lotte, a small area of National Trust property affording excellent views over the Bay and exiting at the Cove. The route follows quiet roads to a static caravan park and continues through to the remains of Arnside Tower, a medieval Pele tower. From here there are good views of Arnside Knott and Arnside Woods. Continue to the road and take the gate near the top of the hill into the wood. Going uphill by the wall, the route then bears left to the top of Arnside Knott. The view from the trig point is disappointing – all trees! However, a few yards to the south, by the seat there are excellent views across the Bay to Grange-over-Sands and the Lakeland Hills. Soon after leaving the top, the route leaves the woods and a second panorama of the Kent estuary is seen. The top can be avoided by continuing south by the Knott signpost over the shoulder and then joining the top route by the gate into the wood. Paths and minor roads are followed into Arnside promenade and the road round to the railway station is finally taken, viewing the impressive rail bridge over the River Kent.
