In-Depth Information
The on-going path swings left along the northern edge of woodland to a
gate. Through this, follow the field boundary, right, to a stile in a corner,
near Stanley Pond. Cross the ensuing field, diagonally left, to reach a rail-
way underpass. On the other side, climb the field ahead to a track leading
to Bell House farm and on to the B5345.
Cross the road and follow an access track round to Demesne farm, and
there turn left to pursue a delightful lane running out to Lane Head. Keep
ahead, following the road round to Sandwith. At the southern edge of the
village turn right on a narrow, enclosed road, until it branches right to
head for a cliff-edge quarry where Whitehaven springs suddenly into view.
Keep left on reaching the quarry and follow an obvious path around
North and South Head, two component parts of St Bees Head. These are
separated by Fleswick Bay (page 21), a short incursion into the cliffs, pre-
ceded by a coastguard lookout station and St Bees lighthouse.
The path runs on in a lovely manner before finally descending dramatic-
ally to the seashore at St Bees (page 17).
Once across Rottington Beck you may consider that you have completed
the walk across northern England 'from coast to coast'.
Congratulations - well done!
