Overview

This is a circular walk which explores the Olchon Valley, taking in its spectacular views and wild landscape. We will also walk over the magnificent Cats Back with its panoramic views. There are some long inclines and a few stiles. Not for the faint hearted. BPL.  At the end of the walk, there is an option to have liquid refreshment at either the Crown Inn, Longtown or preferably the Olde Worlde pub The Cornewalle Arms at Clodock. Booking Essential.
