Both natural beauty and historical interest abound; the view back to Pen-y-ghent was really impressive. A valley walk that weaves from one side of the railway to the other, with enough height gained for good views. Field paths and limestone pavement and a stretch of B-road; a National Nature Reserve path that is stony and rough at times with stone paving across boggier sections. Gates including one with steps. Crosses a level crossing. Passes through the Wild Ingleborough National Nature Reserve, with wild flowers and moorland birds. Weaves across the Settle-Carlisle Railway and passes railway cottages, an old limekiln and a 17th-century farmhouse. An optional diversion via Alum Pot crosses private land with a suggested honesty-box donation.

The Ribblehead Viaduct: A 24-arch Victorian railway viaduct built 1870-1875 carrying the Settle-Carlisle line across Batty Moss beneath Whernside.

Time: 3h–6h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk. Care needed on the busy B-road from Ribblehead towards Selside, with several stretches lacking verges or shoulders.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

Reverse direction: the Saturday Walkers Club.

Spectacular countryside.

Time: 7h–13h30

Walk details: Railwalks.

Time: 6h–12h30

Walk details: Slow Ways.

A long and varied route. Starts on a fast road verge running alongside the M6, then improves to quieter roads, field paths to the River Esk and a railway footbridge and riverside fields that can be very muddy and flood-prone. Finishes on suburban roads and a historic stretch past Carlisle Castle and Cathedral. Several badly puddled farm tracks. The route passes Carlisle Castle, the Cathedral and the Tullie and Guildhall museums, and crosses through the Solway Coast National Landscape. An England Coast Path improvement may one day offer a better, less road-bound start.

Time: 5h–9h30

1 lunch spot: the Crown and Thistle

Warnings: The opening section follows the verge of a fast, busy road parallel to the M6 with a narrow, overgrown edge; great care is needed. Riverside fields can flood and the farm road up to Cargo can be very deeply puddled and muddy. Watch for tidal flooding and cows near Rockcliffe.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

Reverse direction: Railwalks.

A long, mixed route of quiet roads with distant mountain views, field paths beside the River Wampool and Caldew, a final shared tarmac path on the Cumbria Way into Carlisle. Field sections can be wet and muddy; the Wigton-to-Thursby half has serious access problems with blocked and unclear and overgrown paths. The Dalston-to-Carlisle section follows the Cumbria Way and is shared with cyclists.

Time: 6h–12h

1 lunch spot: the Ship Inn

Warnings: The section from Wigton to Thursby has blocked field paths, no clear access through farms, barbed-wire stiles and a stretch with no footpath along the busy A595 verge. Fields by the river can be wet, muddy and churned by cattle.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

High moorland, steep mountain ascent, exposed plateau and largely flat finish from Ingleton to Bentham.

Ingleborough: One of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, a flat-topped fell dominating the skyline above Clapham.

Warnings: Very exposed summit.
