Clawthorpe Fell limestone pavement

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.
