The small car park by the Bradleyfield Radio Mast on the Kendal ~ Underbarrow road is the starting point for this walk |
![](images3/olf19_r1_02.jpg) |
A track beyond a locked barrier at the end of the car park leads through Cunswick Wood to the radio mast |

Continue beyond the mast to exit the wood by a kissing gate with a fooptath sign for Cunswick Fell |

Initially the path is quite vague across the first field, head straight across it to come alongside the wall |

Crossing Gamblemire Lane which is merely a grassy track which passes over the fell |

Passing through the gate which is about three quarters of a mile from the car park |

Cunswick Scar from just below the gate, the path continues to descend to a wide depression below the summit |

Distant views of the high fells to the north west are hampered by low banks of cloud, in fair conditions, a long line of fells fom the Coniston Fells to Ullscarf would be visible including The Langdale Pikes and the Scafells |
