The area, offering pay and display parking and café facilities nearby, has grown popular, attracting many visitors. Our journey featured a simple round-trip hike along well-maintained paths, capturing the enchanting scenery and waterfalls.

On 12th May 2016, an adventurous scramble up Red Screes via Kilnshaw Chimney was undertaken, diverging from the usual pathway from Kirkstone Pass. This challenging route, featuring steep and loose scree, and a tricky rock face, offered a more secluded ascent. Despite the Kirkstone Pass Inn being closed, the journey was rewarded with picturesque views at the summit, where other tarns and pools complement the landscape. The descent required careful navigation, culminating back at a well-equipped but free car park.

Embark on a leisurely walk to West Loups’s Abandoned Farmstead on Cotherstone Moor, accessible via a public footpath. Note that this area, part of an active Army Firing Range, requires caution with red flags. The ruins at West Loups’s, rich in history, offer insights into past settlements and army training remnants. Prehistoric rock art and scenic views complement the walk, but visit only during safe, flag-free days.
