The small informal car park by Church Bridge is the starting point for this walk |
|
The start of the Garburn Road a few hundred yards south of Church Bridge |
|
The road rises steeply between high walls as it passes behind the buildings of The Howe |
|
After climbing a few hundred feet the view opens out to the Ill Bell ridge |
|
The road is an old packhorse trade route between Troutbeck and Kentmere |

|
Red Screes and St. Raven's Edge leading to Caudale Moor. The objective, Sallows, does not appear until the summit of the road is almost reached so the main interest of the walk is the views over the Troutbeck valley |
|
The Tongue backed by Caudale Moor |
|
Looking across the valley to the long ridge of Wansfell |
|
The Coniston fells |
|
Getting near the summit of the road |
|
A closer view of Red Screes |
|
The top of the road is just beyond the small plantation of conifers |
|
At the top end of the plantation a simple stile gives access to the open fellside |
|
A faint path over tussocky grass climbs directly from the stile, or more easily follow the wall to gain the ridge line west of the summit |
|
Looking back from the climb by the wall to the Garburn Road |
|
The slope above the wall from the small outcrops of rocks AW mentioned in his notes on the summit |
