DUE TO SNOW ROAD ACCESS IS POSSIBLE UP TO THE VISITOR CENTRE ONLY BUT ALL MOUNTAIN BIKE AND WALKING TRAILS ARE CLOSED. updated 10/2/12

An easy access trail following compacted stone paths and a forest road around the rim of Waitcliff high above Deepdale and Langdale Forest. This is a very flat route but short sections may be flooded in very wet weather. There is a fine view from the northern tip of Waitcliff. This is a good area for butterflies on a sunny day.
