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 short there-and-back onto twelve hectares of limestone pavement on the shoulder of Clawthorpe Fell, entered by a kissing gate straight off Clawthorpe Road. Cumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs on a lead. The footpath is slippery when wet, the ground is undulating and rocky with cliff edges, and the working quarry alongside has no public access, all of which argue for keeping hold of a dog rather than trusting recall. It is a good half-hour stretch off the M6 at Junction 36 rather than a day out.

THE SMALL PRINTCumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs "On a lead". Cliff edges on the fell and an active quarry alongside with no public access.

Five hectares of former quarry floor and limestone grassland on Clawthorpe Road above Burton-in-Kendal, now colonised by orchids and rock-rose, with the working quarry alongside. Cumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs on a lead. The ground is undulating and the paths get lost in bracken by mid-summer, so it is better in spring and autumn. It shares its layby with Clawthorpe Fell a few hundred metres up the road, so the two make one outing rather than two.
