We are the Penrith Ramblers. We open the way for everyone to enjoy the pleasures of walking in our wonderful area.

Farleton Knott is a craggy outcrop of limestone rock near Burton-in-Kendal. It is a fine area of limestone pavement, of no great height but, with huge views to all points of the compass. The approach is via an old canal and the return following a river. Apart from the obvious rocky hill, the walk is mostly flat on good surfaces comprising cinder towpath, quiet lanes and fields.
One section of the walk is about 500m along the relatively busy A6070 (with grass verge but no pavement requiring single line safety approach).
