SUMMARY:Saturday stroll - Nenthead
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a gentle walk at a relaxed pace on the last Saturday of each month. The first walk will be from Nenthead on 25 February starting at 10.30am and finishing at approximately 1pm. Following the walk you are welcome to join us at the Hive café to chat\, whilst having free teas; coffees and cakes\, about what we’ve seen and experienced on the walk. \nSaturday strolls are designed for anyone who may not feel confident accessing the outdoors or would like more advice about getting out walking\, but anyone at any experience level is welcome to join. All ages are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult and must be able to walk or be carried as the paths may not be suitable for pushchairs). Well behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome. \nFor each walk you will need to bring sturdy boots or shoes (walking boots or trainers with good grip are best)\, warm layers\, and a waterproof jacket. You may also want to bring a drink and a snack. \nDetails of the walk:- Nenthead Circular Route Description \nParking: Free\, at the entrance to Nenthead mines.\nToilets: Free\, located at the entrance to the carpark.\nDistance: 3.8km/2.3 miles\nRoute description: Leaving the car park we will turn left and cross the road to join the public footpath which passes between trees. We will follow the path and descend approx. 20 stairs (the stairs have no handrail\, please let us know if these will be an obstacle for you as there is an alternative route available).\nWe will cross the main road through Nenthead and follow a paved track for a short distance. We will then join a footpath which is solid underfoot and will pass the miniature village where we will stop for a few moments.\nOnce everyone has seen the miniature village we will continue along the footpath until it turns to the right. Here we will have an uphill climb for approximately 0.5km/0.3 miles on a well paved road. We will be having regular breaks as we climb the hill to notice interesting features in the landscape.\nWe will then have a level walk along a flat well paved road for approx. 0.5km/0.3 miles before we begin to walk down hill again into the town. The downhill is well paved road turning into a cobbled road with a paved pavement. Here there is an option to end the walk if you would prefer.\nAt the bottom of the hill we will begin to walk uphill again for about 0.5km/0.3 miles. This is less steep than the previous stretch of uphill\, although it is not paved and can be wet underfoot. Along this stretch of the walk we will take breaks to enjoy views of a waterfall and historic buildings.\nOnce we reach the top of the hill we will enter Nenthead mines and follow the solid compressed gravel path gently downhill and through the historic mining landscape until we reach the carpark where we began.\nThroughout this walk we will be walking at the pace of the slowest member of the group\, and we will be taking breaks as often needed. There are no stiles on this walk\, and the stairs can be avoided. \nTo book onto the walk please use the link below. \n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\n
