Walk Information

This is a 3¾-mile (6 km) circular walk starting near the Countess’s Pillar, passing through Brougham Hall, Eamont Bridge, and Brougham Castle. ​ The route is easy, with half on minor roads. If you like history, this is the walk for you!

From ancient henges to Roman remains and castles, step through Eden's history whilst enjoying two of Eden's rivers, making sure you take time out to spot oystercatchers, ringed plovers, and other birds along the riverbanks.

Accessibility

Please be aware of livestock whilst walking in the countryside, most cows and sheep on public right of ways are safe but stay alert to the potential risk to you and your walking party, especially with cows and calves (see the link for more info. to stay safe).

Keep your dog on a lead around all livestock, even if your dog is especially well-behaved, the poor sheep don’t know this! Especially in lambing time, try to leave the field as calm as you found it.
