Overview

From the car park head for the trig point on Beacon Fell (and hope for good views), then head for Bleasdale, passing the former school and the church. Go through Weavers Farm to the Brock Valley as far as Waddecar and lastly return to Beacon Fell.

The photo is of the view from Beacon Fell towards Fair Snape Fell and Parlick.

Outside the visitor centre - use the pay and display car park. No good post code exists for this location, with PR3 2ER probably being the best, with a need to follow the road signs when getting near to Beacon Fell.
