Overview

A lollipop walk from Glencoyne Bay, taking in Greenside Mine and Lanty's Tarn.

The route is a mixture of woodland path, a quiet mining road, an uneven and rocky path and a stepped mountain path. The walk returns to Glenridding on the path alongside the A592. There are a couple of gradual ascents taken at a leisurely pace.

Can National Trust Members bring their membership cards for parking.
