Route Description for The Lonely Howgills Walk
Featuring gorgeous views over the surrounding landscape of Yorkshire Dales National Park and a challenging, but fun stretch of terrain that traverses several rugged hills, The Lonely Howgills Walk is a fantastic option for both casual and seasoned walkers alike.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northwest through Sedbergh along its charming streets before breaking to the north to climb uphill across the rugged moor. Here, you will make your way over the summits of Winder and Calders before reaching the viewpoint atop The Calf. Take some time to appreciate the views that sweep across the moor before continuing along the trail as it loops toward the southeast. Meeting up with the River Rawthey, you will follow its winding banks back into Sedbergh, where you began your adventure.
