Overview

From the public car park at Askham Hall we take a track to a public footpath that crosses the field to Heining Bank woods. We follow the river Lowther, through the woods, to eventually come to a crossroads of paths where we cross the river at Low Gardens Bridge.

We follow the track on the other side of the river for a short distance before turning up hill slightly, following an avenue of oak trees with the view of Lowther Castle ahead.  We pass in front of Lowther Castle to follow the path down hill though the woods to Askham Bridge. Crossing the bridge we return to Askham Village.
