From Arnside to Kirkby Lonsdale this walking route in South Lakeland crosses undulating landscapes of woods, moss and rocky fell. Ordnance Survey Explorer OL7 The English Lakes South Eastern area Starting at Arnside YH I suggest you take in Arnside Knot for the view over the sands before crossing the railway line and heading east towards Hazelslack and Underlaid Wood beyond. Having negotiated the "Fairy Steps" and exited the wood at Slack Head drop down to Hale (PH) before crossing the mosses to Holme (PH). Leaving north along the road out of Holme the walk passes under the M6 motorway to join the A6070. Turn right to Holme Park Farm and turn left just beyond. The path goes between Holme Park Quarry on the right and Holmepark Fell on the left before crossing a minor roadbe and skirting the northern flank of Hutton Roof Crags to Hutton Roof.
