Lovely route along the hillside above the busy A6, that makes a nice alternative to the obvious canal towpath route. Open meadows with splendid views, and a real 'olde-worlde byway' feel about much of it. It is a shame you have to (very) briefly walk along the A6 in Furness Vale but there is no alternative route and it is short-lived (and does offer a pub opportunity at the Crossings by the railway station). The awkward stile as you descend into Furness Vale is certainly more difficult than it needs to be (it has been reported to DCC) but in the hope that it can be sorted, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

This is a very pleasant route with lovely views, mainly through pastures. In June, some pastures had many species of wild flowers.

The route is in two parts and there is a short section of very busy road at Furness Vale between the two.

Sadly, the route is unsuitable for many people because of a wall stile that needs repairing (SK 00402 83643). If it were repaired it would be rated 4 stars.

Lovely scenery, including New Mills Torrs and distant views of Kinder Scout.some sections of unmade path, potential to be boggy. Some tricky styles and steep steps.
