This route then takes you along a narrow path towards the canal. Turning left on the path and following the canal all the way down to the Bay Horse (great stop for a cold drink and to look at the bay views). The route then takes you back up towards Ulverston, passing Glaxo Smith Kline, following the road past Outcast and along West Lane. The next leg of the journey takes you towards the Ulverston Priory along Brick Kiln Rd.
