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.

Millom railway station and Market Square LA18 4AB

Directions to the start →

A town circuit from the station and Market Square out through Millom Park on St George's Road, then north across the fields to the fourteenth-century pele tower of Millom Castle and the old parish church of Holy Trinity, which stand on their own a mile from the modern town. Field paths back down to Mainsgate Road complete the loop. It is short and mostly level and it is the walk to do when the tide is in and the sands are gone. The park itself is a dogs-on-lead area and its play area is closed to dogs entirely.

THE SMALL PRINTMillom Park, St George's Road (LA18 4JA) is a Schedule B dogs-on-lead area under Cumberland Council Public Spaces Protection Order (No. 1) 2024, and the play area within Millom Park is a Schedule C dog exclusion area. Breach is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. The fields around the castle are grazed and the castle itself is a private working farm.
