3 Replies to “Howgills & Limestone Trail”
The Howgills and Limestone Trail, which we walked in September 2020, is a brilliantly constructed route taking in fine tops and glorious ridge-walking, with panoramic views if there is good weather. Impressive historic railway viaducts, awesome waterfalls, riverside walking, attractive towns and villages… Staying at the Cross Keys is a must, but it has only two bedrooms and is currently not open all week. The David Pitt guidebook maps are sometimes difficult to follow in farmland. The path round Ease Gill Kirk gorge was totally overgrown with bracken and required some bushwhacking.
As usual, Brigantes luggage transfer worked perfectly. The walk is mostly very quiet and we highly recommend it.
Just a note of appreciation for ensuring the safe arrival of our baggage on the Howgills and Limestone Trail. Also, please pass on our thanks to your driver, Stuart and your other drivers.
Route issues we found
1) Kirkby Stephen – the Poetry Path at NY776080 is closed because of flood damage.
2) Sedbergh – the footbridge over the River Rawthey opposite the old mill at Birks (SD651913) has been destroyed, however, there is a marked diversion in place.
3) Barbon – the footbridge over Barbon Beck at SD656828 is damaged but crossable with care.
Summary
A very enjoyable walk, apart from Ease Gill to Ingleton (too much mud and too many stiles and farmyards). Altogether, a much better walk than “The Dales Highway”.

Thanks for the feedback Raymond – I will pass on your thanks to the team here at Brigantes.
The information about the route is very helpful to other walkers and is much appreciated.
We hope you will consider Brigantes for any future walking holidays.
Best Regards
Annette and all at Brigantes
