A fascinating 5-10km walk
on Askham fell, home to many intriguing ancient sites from stone
circles to burial cairns and a herd of wild ponies too! A spooky
theme on open moorland! The walk is on open fell and bridleways so
there is lots of room for your 4 legged friend to run around. The
views of Ullswater lake are amazing.
There are often sheep
grazing so take care with your dog off the lead. You can park in
Askham village and then head up the hill. The walk takes about 2
hours but can be shorter if you just go to the summit of Heughscar
hill which is the best viewpoint. Start and finish in Askham village
or Roe head near Pooley bridge.
