Whinfell Forest Walk

Another Wednesday walk and a perfect day for walking in the Eden Valley. We started at the village of Cliburn which is about 6 miles east of Penrith. The 8 mile walk would take us round the edges of Whinfell Forest and the Oasis Holliday Village. After the first couple of miles in open countryside the stile above will take us into the forest. The main path round the perimeter of the Holiday Village was very soft in places and had been spoilt by people taking horses onto it.

This is Commonholme Bridge over the River Leith which will eventually join the River Eden.

Back in Cliburn we took the opportunity to visit this 12th century church.
