This walk is unreccied and route taken from Cicerone guide book. Panoramic views (on a nice day!) across Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire.
We leave the village by the Barbon Inn and past the church and head up a steepening grassy slope reaching a cairn on Eskholme Pike. The climb continues gradually up to Castle Knott and Calf Top (610m) atop of which there are views across Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire and looking over to the Howgills to the north. We continue along the ridge with an undulating descent to Barkin Top and round along the side of the fell.
