Revelin Moss

(Average user rating 2 unrated

1.7/5)

Sitting at the foot of Grisedale Pike, Revelin Moss is an area of "firsts". The first planting of coniferous trees by the newly formed Forestry Commission took place here in 1919 and now Revlin Moss is home to Europe's first permanent trail orienteering course.

The Trail 'O' and its surounding network of paths offers some of the easiest walking at Whinlatter and is ideal for the very young, the not so-young and those who find some of the other walks too strenuous. Following well-maintained gravel paths, the route offers spectacular views of Grisedale Pike to those with pushchairs and wheelchairs.

I have to agree with the previous comments. I read once that the high long-stay costs in the towns was to deter non-shoppers, which seems fair enough. To have such costs here and in Grizedale (such as at Moor Top, I'm not referring so much to the Visitor Centre car parks) appears greedy and extortionate. Was the introduction of charges related to the subsequently aborted forestry sell-off?

Agree the car parking charge is a disgrace, we went Fort Augustus last year paid 60p for 12hrs

The whole Winlatter area is a fantastic place, but astronmical car park charges that have risen disproportionate to inflation in the last couple of years.
