Nestling amongst the outer folds of the Lake District fells, the area around Kendal is a fell runner's paradise.
Just a few short minutes after setting off from the hustle and bustle of this busy market town, you can be out amongst classic fell and river scenery.
You can also walk this route if you fancy a gentle stroll.

'My favourite activity to do at Sizergh is den building; it's great to be able to use natural things to make your den from. Moss makes a great welcome carpet for the den.’ - Tilly, aged 8
'Build a den' is number 4 on our 50 Things challenge and branches, twigs and leaves make surprisingly cosy shelters, especially when it’s cold and wet.
Our places have lots of natural materials to help you get creative with your den building and hide out in our huge woodlands. You could even turn your den into a pirate ship, a small fort or a farmyard, all made out of a pile of sticks. Now that’s cool!
