There are many hilltops walks straight from the house and the garden.  For more adventurous walking the Pennine Way can be joined around Lothersdale and is just a 10-15 minute walk from the house. There is a table with plenty of map books, print outs of local walks and a compass. We have paced out a 2-hour walk from the house over the Moor top and down to the valley ending in the local Hare & Hounds pub in Lothersdale.
