Overview

The walk starts in the Mallerstang valley, and first climbs via fields and moorland to High Dolphinsty, then turns south to reach Wild Boar Fell with its collection of cairns overlooking the valley.. We then continue to Swarth Fell before descending to Aisgill Moor cottages and visit Hellgill Force before joining Lady Anne's Way to return to the start point.
