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

From Orton Village we ascend Orton Scar then on to Beacon Hill Monument. We cross Great Asby Scar Nature Reserve. On a clear day there are vast views across to the Lake District, the Pennines and the Howgills. We follow a bridleway to Sunbiggin Tarn, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The return to Orton is using the Wainright's Coast to Coast route with an option to visit the ancient Gamelands Stone circle just before heading back into Orton.
This walk uses bridleways, footpaths and quiet country lanes. Can be muddy in places.
Refreshments at the Cafe in the Chocolate Shop.
Dog friendly, but there can be cattle or sheep in fields.
