I hav run, walked, photographed and blogged Whitbarrow many times ever since - one of my all time favourite venues. I am well acquainted with the little café. There is a fairly challenging path that I discovered which is another favourite. If you go up to the base of the climbing crag and follow the base of the crag south a little path climbs steeply through the trees - it is a bit overgrown and eventually you double back to the left (easy to miss) even more overgrown, and come out at a fence and stile - you then follow your nose (a good guide book description eh?) and you come out at the wall and stile on the plateau inside the nature reserve near the wall and stile that marks the reserve's boundary.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-63422006573595129262018-03-13T23:47:47.048+00:002018-03-13T23:47:47.048+00:00Another great area for a walk.

When I lived in Arnside I did and, as a consequence I think, used to head that way for a walk more often than I do now. There's a really curious little 'honesty box' cafe at nearby Beck Head which you could investigate without leaving level going, although it's not really competition for the Derby Arms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-6096907722926395372018-03-12T22:47:52.817+00:002018-03-12T22:47:52.817+00:00BC - I had christened the pub the Bay Horse and al...BC - I had christened the pub the Bay Horse and also mistaken the A590 for the A65. The errors were pointed out by my friend Gimmer.
