Overview

Passing through the Deer Park by the River Bela and the Dallam Tower to Milnthorpe Bridge. A bit of an incline for the views from the top of Haverbrack. Dropping down to Hazelslack we pass another Tower before entering Underlaid Wood to see if we can make a wish having travesed the excitement of The Fairy Steps. Slack Head and Hale follow before going through Beetham Park, passing Beetham Hall on our way back to the Heron Corn Mill at Beetham Village. We find a welcome cafe at the Corn Mill where we can also walk around the inner workings of the Corn Mill.
