Take a new path
A new section of bridleway has been built to provide an alternative route through Near Sawrey to Hawkshead, where walkers and cyclists have the chance to experience beautiful views across Esthwaite Water and over to the Coniston Fells.
Partnership project
The Claife Community Bridleway has been six years in the making, and was called for by residents on safety grounds in their community led plan. The project has been funded collectively by the National Trust, South Lakeland District Council, Claife Parish Council and the Lake District National Park Authority. The track is the last link in a network of paths which connects Wray Castle with Hawkshead.
