This is a wonderful circular walk through a wooded gorge with huge fir trees to a spectacular waterfall. For the last three hundred years Aira Force has inspired many poets to put pen to paper and will surely inspire you too. Your walk will take you through an amazing pinetum, a collection of conifers that were planted in 1846 – now some of the tallest trees in Cumbria. See if you can discover the Money log.

This walk takes you along a section of bridleway that runs parallel to Great
Langdale Beck. Here the Dipper is relatively easy to locate, often by its song or call.
It sings throughout most of the year, and can even be heard in full song during the
winter months.

This is a great viewpoint for Tarn Hows, part of a designed landscape created by
James Garth Marshall. In 1865 he built a dam to flood the area, which was once three smaller tarns, this created the large tarn as you see today. From the bench, you cansee across the tarn to the surrounding fells. It is at its best first thing in the morning or later in the day when it is usually peaceful.
On raised ground to the left of the track, just before the bench, there is a memorial
to Sir James Scott. This is another vantage point from which the views can be
enjoyed. The main track continues for another three hundred metres to Rose Castle
Cottage, a National Trust Holiday Cottage.

A bridge that is grade 2 listed? That’ll be Birks Bridge then. There is an old tale of a local who liked to frequent the Newfield Inn. On his return (and worse for drink) on a horse and cart, he would try and cross the bridge only to get stuck! By Martin Clayton
