  • Newlands Valley Walk
    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

  • The Fred Route-Pdf
    The Fred Whitton Challenge. 5 of us arrived, full of enthusiasm and some trepidation, in Keswick the night before and headed out by 6.30 to begin some serious, but inconclusive, carbo- loading research. The busy Italian supplied excellent spag bol, lasagna and chicken with beer and wine. The town was lively as we moved on to the numerous local Taverns in order to broaden our data. Despite the lack of a definitive answer it does appear Cider can be counter productive. As we set up our bikes “The Fred” gave us a taste of the challenge to come with a heavy, cold shower and strong wind, We checked in and set off by 7.30 am, in driving wind and freezing rain, went past the head of Coniston water and straight onto the first climb of the day, Hawkshead Hill, which at least warmed us as the rain eased. All our plans to ‘take it easy’ and aim for an average 13mph were forgotten covering the 7 or so miles to Ambleside at between 20 and 25mph. Windermere was looking good but after just over a mile we turned left up the very steep Holbeck Lane climb to Troutbeck, the first BIG climb of the day, up Kirkstone pass. (454m, 14.7 miles covered). There were lots of supporters at the top, as at all the summits, and their encouragement spurred us on. Being the highest pass, there’s a long and steep descent, which was tiring and difficult because we had to ride the brakes on a steep, slippery, long descent.

Soon after acquiring Hill Top Farm, Potter became keenly interested in the breeding and raising of Herdwick sheep , the indigenous fell sheep. In she bought a large sheep farm in the Troutbeck Valley called Troutbeck Park Farm , formerly a deer park, restoring its land with thousands of Herdwick sheep. This established her as one of the major Herdwick sheep farmers in the county. She was admired by her shepherds and farm managers for her willingness to experiment with the latest biological remedies for the common diseases of sheep, and for her employment of the best shepherds, sheep breeders, and farm managers. By the late s, Potter and her Hill Top farm manager Tom Storey had made a name for their prize-winning Herdwick flock, which took many prizes at the local agricultural shows, where Potter was often asked to serve as a judge. In she became President-elect of the Herdwick Sheepbreeders' Association, the first time a woman had been elected but died before taking office. Potter had been a disciple of the land conservation and preservation ideals of her long-time friend and mentor, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley , the first secretary and founding member of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.
