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.

None at the reserve entrance; park in Ulverston and walk in, or use the canal-side parking

Directions to the start →

A very short level walk on the edge of Ulverston, four hundred metres of footpath running the length of a narrow strip of woodland with no exit at the far end, so you come back the way you went. Cumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs on a lead. There are no grazing animals and no gates to fight with, which makes it a genuinely easy ten minutes for an old or a recovering dog. There is no parking at the reserve entrance, so walk in from the town or the canal.

THE SMALL PRINTCumbria Wildlife Trust publishes the reserve as dogs "On a lead".
