Overview

Starting from Newbiggin-on-Lune we will make our way to the Smardale Nature Reserve along the old railway track up to the spectacular viaduct. Then continue along the track and onto a quiet road, down to a ford and up to the pretty village of Crosby Garrett where we will stop for lunch. From the village we follow a track over Crosby Garrett Fell where we can look back over views of the Eden Valley.
