GLW1106 The Beetham Round

Saturday 4th June 2011

The date is not entirely accurate.  We actually did a variant of this walk a couple of weeks ago and determined to come back and write it up properly.  However I had half forgotten and today's circuit, a little different to that of before, is neither the walk we did previously nor the one I intended to write up.  Nevermind!  It was a good place to take Jamie when time was short.

We parked at Beetham and headed for the Heron Corn Mill.  True to its name, a heron was fishing the river out the back.  

After a good look round the old mill, we climbed the gentle rise in the grounds of Dallam Towers- a fine old house, dropping down to the river at the exit.

After a none too pleasant but short road march, we found the quieter back road that runs between the commercial units and the quarry (as opposed to doubling back via Hollins Well as we did previously).  The path up to Haverbrak Bank was cunningly hidden behind a new conversion but it didn't fool us for long and up into the hazel woods we climbed.  Fortunately the path on the ground was reasonably akin to that on the map and we emerged on the back road near where we always used to park when visitng Fairy Steps.

Today, however, we were tight on time so followed the road down to Beetham.

This is a lovely area and there are several variations of this walk that hopefully we will do in the future.
