We are the Penrith Ramblers. We open the way for everyone to enjoy the pleasures of walking in our wonderful area.
This easy and almost flat walk explores the pleasantly wooded countryside around Brampton and uses a network of quiet country roads, a disused railway line and good paths and tracks. The route is circular, passing above the River Gelt, then Low Gelt Bridge to Brampton. After passing through Brampton centre the dis-used ‘Dandy Line’ leads to Brampton Station, then return to the Tarn via Farlam.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept under close control at all times, preferably on a lead.
The route passes the Capon Tree memorial which marks the scene of historical hangings. In Brampton the inside of St Martin’s Church, especially the stained glass, is worth a look. Lunch will probably be in another historical (early 1900s) building - the Howard Memorial Shelter.
