THE WALKS

Walk a Greener Path

Range Free O'er Hills and Down Dale

Shacklabank Farm is in a prime location for walking holidays with the Dales W ay, Coast to Coast walk and the Westmorland Heritage Walk all passing through the area.

All of the routes have been walked, researched and designed by Alison through all seasons and weather conditions. The routes chosen will bring you to the best possible peaceful paths up, through, beyond and around the Howgill Fells.

Alison has given special thought to weather, terrain (which influences time and possible distance travelled), walking abilities, views, special places of interest, wildlife, plant life and safety.

We live in the hills and our weather does change quite dramatically daily and sometimes hour on hour but this gives you superb and ever-changing scenery and big, wild and moody skies. Our seasons are spectacular with no two days the same.

We have a great choice of routes from gentle five mile strolls to challenging 16 mile treks. All walks are led at a gentle pace to take in as much of the atmosphere as is possible in this an area of unique and outstanding natural beauty 
 
Walks and distance will vary and depend upon how involved you would like to be around the farm and in farm life.
