  • Great Walks from Garsdale (2) John Barnes
    Tales from DalesRail Great walks from Garsdale (2) John Barnes DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. A walk around Grisedale Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL`19 – Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley Standing by Garsdale Station the prominent hill looking west is Baugh Fell with the cairns of Grisedale Pike visible at the near end. Below Grisedale Pike to the north is Grisedale, a remote valley lying beneath the heights of Swarth Fell. Grisedale featured in a Yorkshire documentary ‘The Dale That Died’ in 1975, a book to accompany the programme was produced by Barry Cockcroft. The Clough River has its source in Grisedale. Tributaries on Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell are collected into Grisedale Beck which continues as Clough River running through Grisedale Head and down Garsdale to join the River Rawthey near Gardsale Bridge. Some of the old farms in Grisedale have been refurbished and are lived in; many are in ruins such as Rowantree, East Scale where there is a Quaker burial ground, West Scale and Round Ing. Here is an easy walk of 8.5 miles which incudes an exploration of Grisedale and continues further by How Beck Bridge to follow the River Ure and on to Garsdale Station. The start of the walk at the very attractive Garsdale Station We begin at Garsdale Station and going north to Garsdale Head, cross the road and continue to Blake Mire.

  • Kirkby Stephen Bench Walks
    Case Study October 2020 Kirkby Stephen Bench Walks Increasing exercise and reducing loneliness Local people in Kirkby Stephen have developed a walking map of 60 benches in and around Kirkby Stephen. Six of the benches have been designated as ‘Happy to Chat’ benches. The map provides ideas for interesting town walks as well as scenic riverside and viaduct walks. It gives people the confidence of At the launch: knowing where their next bench is, as well as the Sarah Middleton, Ann opportunity to meet others. Sandell, Cllr Phil Dew, Anne Cradock, Joan Johnstone & Julie Barton Background In November 2019, the Chair of Cumbria Westmorland Federation of Women’s Institutes (WI) gave members a challenge - to do something that would have an impact on their community and help to combat loneliness. This led to the development of the Bench Walks map. Cumbria County Council (CCC) had previously organised a Dementia Awareness Day in Kirkby Stephen. The groups involved in the awareness day became the partners for the Bench Walk project. Anne Cradock, Activity Coordinator of Nateby & Wharton WI, organised the meetings at the Bothy Café in Kirkby Stephen, and a plan was formulated to firstly find and then create a map of the benches around the town and adjacent area. In February 2020, Ann Sandell and Kirkby Stephen & District Walkers are Welcome members arranged three exploratory walks together with the partners and members of the WI. They were surprised to find over 80 benches, rather than the 20 or 30 they had expected. The Project Section of The aim was to enable less mobile people in the community Kirkby Stephen to enjoy the benefits of short accessible walks.
