Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

A half-mile waymarked circuit of a small valley mire on the A684 Sedbergh road about five and a half miles east of Kendal, with boardwalk and bridges over the wettest ground. Cumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs on a lead, and the reason is under your feet: the reserve is uneven and wet with ditches and areas of deep water either side of the path. One of the bridges on the circuit is currently closed, so check the Trust's page before setting off. It makes a good leg-stretch off the Sedbergh road rather than a destination in itself.

THE SMALL PRINTCumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs "On a lead". The reserve has "ditches and areas of deep water" off the path, and one bridge on the circuit is closed.
