Overview

The other Borrowdale is a delightfully unspoilt, quiet valley that cuts deep into the hills to the west of Tebay Gorge. The walk is a valley walk on paths and tracks, alongside becks and through fields. It is a simple ‘out and back’ from Huck’s Bridge lay-by to the bridge crossing below Greyrigg Forest
