Overview

Starting from the pretty village of Water Yeats near Coniston then walking along the River Crake then across fields to the little hamlet of High Nibthwaite. Following an old track up to the summit of Selside a Wainwright outlier. Then continuing along to High and Low Haw and finally to the summit of Brock Barrow . If the weather is kind there should be fantastic views of Coniston and the surrounding mountains.
