Comments (0)Walk: Raise your eyes to the hills
4:50pm Friday 29th August 2008
With its one narrow access road, the Kentmere valley remains unspoilt. It has distinct paths and deciduous woodland with some Scots pine. It has superb outcrops, huge boulders and many small streams, which you cross on well-worn stone slabs. The view of the mountains as you move into the valley is spectacular, but this walk does not seek to reach the heights but provides a delightful low-level walk, which is comparatively dry underfoot and is generally sheltered during windy weather. Just before you return, ahead of you lies Kentmere reservoir, extensive, high and remote. It is up on the slopes, above the tarn, that the River Kent rises and journeys through the Kentmere valley and on to pass through Kendal.
