Ascent of Sheffield Pike
This moderate walk takes us onto the summit of Sheffield Pike, the fell
that divides the lower reaches of Glencoyne and Glenridding. The summit
offers great views of the Helvellyn range, and Ullswater, and is often
out of the clouds when the higher fells are covered

Castle Crag
This is one of the classic shorter walks in the Lake District, visiting Castle Crag,
a minor peak, but in a fantastic location at the mouth of Borrowdale,
and with views deep into the valley and along Derwent Water towards
Keswick.
St. Cuthbert's Church, Kildale, is a 19th century church reached via a footbridge over a railway line, and with a notable porch
All Saints' Church, Ingleby Arncliffe, was built in 1821 close to the
site of an earlier church, and is a typical early nineteenth century
Gothic church. The old church was located to the south-east of the
current building, and was demolished at the same date.
