Walk details:
A walk through the middle reaches of the quiet Troutbeck Valley.
Leaving the church we head north through fields ascending gradually until we reach a minor road that leads us to cross the A592. We then follow the bridleway (Ing Lane) over Ing Bridge to Hagg Bridge. At this point we follow a path along the eastern flank of Troutbeck Tongue to a footbridge over the Troutbeck river. The path ascends a bit but not very steeply. We then bear south along the bridleway on the east side of the Troutbeck valley passing Long Green Farm on the way. The bridleway leads to the Limefitt Caravan/Lodge Park. From here it is a short walk back to the church through the Park to the A592. There is the option to have refreshments at Haybarn Inn at Limefitt Park should it be open, and if you wish to.
