Many are the visitors who have speeded up the M6 to the Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales, who, when they do turn off to Silverdale or Arnside, wonder why they didn’t come before. The combination of the best coastal scenery and the highest concentration of intricate woodland paths in north-west England make the Silverdale area a paradise for walkers. An added bonus are the views over the glistening channels of Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland fells.

The routes explore an area of low densely wooded limestone hills rich in flora and fauna either side of the M6 in north Lancashire and south Cumbria. Summits include Warton Crag, Arnside Knott, Farleton Knott, Holme Park Fell and Hutton Roof Crags and the many nature reserves include Leighton Moss RSPB reserve. Historical features abound, from pele towers to remains of quarrying and copper mining.

  • walks between 2 and 8 miles which can be combined for longer days out
  • beautifully hand illustrated throughout, including detailed route maps
  • new edition fully updated with routes fully rewalked and colour photography
