This is a cracking route - we thoroughly enjoyed walking it!...

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. 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. From here there are good views of Arnside Knott and Arnside Woods....

Starting from Carnforth the route proceeds 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 embankment path is scheduled to be the route taken by the English Coastal Path....

Leaving Arnside the route has a level crossing, field paths (possibly muddy), a narrow bridge, gates and stiles, before arriving at the utterly beautiful section through Underlaid Wood, Fairy Steps (very narrow enclosed climb) and past Marble Quarry. This section makes up about 15% of the route, and is ancient temperate rainforest on top of limestone pavement. Here the route leaves the Limestone Link. Although the route skirts the lower parts of Farleton Fell, there are still excellent views towards the southern Lake District....

I would give a 5* rating for the central 5 miles, from Hazelslack to Mabbin Hall, but the start and finish sections are not quite so good. Levens Hall, with its spectacular topiary, is worth a visit, but the rest of the walk into Levens village is a bit tedious. There are some bus stops in Levens village, but the buses run only a few times a week, at around 2pm. The best option for buses is to head back to Levens Hall where the hourly 555 service stops....

It’s a bit of a long haul, but not too steep, and as the highest point of the route is reached you turn onto a pretty wooded path through Leighton Hall Estate and soon turn to head downhill towards the hall itself. At this point the climb is well rewarded with excellent views of the castle-like hall, Leighton Moss nature reserve, Morecambe Bay, and across to the hills above Grange-over-Sands. You do cross the course itself though, with good views out to the coast to the south, before passing through some more woods and onto some slightly busier country roads....

The beach section at Silverdale can be avoided by using a walled path from Cove Well which becomes a footpath across fields. There are some nice views to be glimpsed from the path around Arnside Knott giving a taster of what can be seen from the summit. Rounding Jenny Brown’s Point is a lovely section, and is followed by some beach which has tidal rivers and a sloping land perimeter of limestone which is fun to walk. At Quaker’s Stang, the diagonal path across the fields, as shown on the OS Map, has effectively been replaced by a well-used path along the top of the grassy embankment, built as protection against the tides....

The route from Arnside begins by following the limestone link including Fairy Steps through an AONB, you will pass through woodlands and farmlands until you reach The old market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and its famous Devils Bridge. So lots of beautiful scenery throughout this walk but you do need to be steady on your feet....

You will continue to walk through Dallas deer park, then taking very quiet country lanes to reach Levens Hall which also has a deer park. The final section uses footpaths but is close to a very busy road just before you reach the village of Levens....
