Overview

Wednesday 1st October 2025 - 10:30 Start 5 or 7.5 miles

This is a pleasant walk on one of the out lying fells of the Lake District. The walk starts on a gated road, gently climbing as we go, after about 1 3/4 mile or so, we head up tracks and paths to School Knott.

This walk, on a clear day, affords great views of the surrounding fells and lakes and takes in a mixture or road, field and track routes.

We start the walk from outside the Watermill at Ings, there is plenty of roadside parking in the village. At the end of the walk, we will finish off with a refreshing drink at the Watermill.
