Step by Step
- Start at Ford Park
- Follow the road up towards The Coach House Cafe & Bistro until you reach a cross roads
- Take a left, shortly followed by a right and go through the gate
- Follow the track until you get to the fork in the path, go left
- Follow the path until you reach a stone track, go left
- Follow the stone track until you reach Hoad, here you get a good view over Ulverston and in the opposite direction you can see the Lake District. Check out the plaques listing the names of the fells.
- Once you’ve taken in the views start to walk back down the stone track, this time keep following the track down through the fields.
- Eventually you will reach a fork in the path, follow the left path onto the grass and through the gate that meets
in the corner of the field. - The path will come out on Belmont Avenue, if you didn’t go through two kissing gates you’ve gone wrong.
- After the second kissing gate walk straight down the road, cross the road and walk down the path in front of you.
- This will come out on a T-junction, go right and you will walk into grounds of Ulverston’s St Mary’s & Holy Trinity Church.
- In front of the church there is another fork in the path, take the left turn and follow this until you reach the road.
- Once you’re at the road, go left and follow the road up to Ford Park.
