Barbon Walk

There is a lovely old track called Fellfoot Road running north and south from Fell Road just near Barbon. We parked at the junction where the lane crosses Fell Road (Grid ref. 635 795 on Pathfinder map no. 628). Confusingly, the signpost on the track  says "Wandales Lane" , however on the O.S. map the Roman Road from Casterton to Cowan Bridge is called "Wandales". No matter, there is great fun to be had climbing in and out of the Andy Goldsworthy sheepfolds.

Walk towards Whelprigg Hall , wander up the fells  , have tea at Barbon at Churchmouse Cheeses or Barbon Inn and why not visit Brownthwaite plants nearby. For another description of this walk see Christopher Somerville
