  6. The Footpath secretary, Alan Duval works much in the background on Footpaths and Rights of Way issues for the Penrith Group. If anyone is interested in helping with this work, then Alan would be happy to show them the ropes. A suggestion is to split the Penrith Group's area into three and have a footpath secretary to deal with each area. If you want more information on what is involved, please contact Alan on 017684 83727. (Message rewritten July 2010) To Top

 Walks in the Penrith area 
by Graham Allan & Mike Cooper

If you like walking in the Penrith area, the Eastern Lakes or within the Eden Valley, this book could be for you.

The Penrith Ramblers Group has selected 30 good walks of various grades to celebrate its first 25 years as one of Ramblers successful and busy walking groups. All the walks featured in the book are within easy reach of Penrith, one of the most easily accessible market towns in Cumbria. The walks are divided into five colour coded groupings, four of which are related to notable valley locations in the eastern part of the area.






The groupings, shown on the plan are:


Ullswater & the Eamont valley, 10 walks,

The Lowther valley,
6 walks,


The Eden valley, 7 walks,

Countryside north & west of Penrith, 4 walks,

Leith & Lyvennet valleys.
3 walks.

'Walks in the Penrith Area' is of A5 size (210mm x 160mm) and is spiral bound making it easy to have any walk description open to view. The 180 pages include detailed descriptions for each walk, accompanied by good, clear OS based mapping from the 1:25,000 scale Explorer series. More than 250 photographs from the walks have been provided along with a wealth of 'points of interest'.
Following a route of a walk is made easy through the division of the route into sections. These can be identified by the accompanying map. A 'factfile' gives information for each walk about local services available and any available public transport facilities.
