Route:    Crag Foot - Warton Crag - Leighton Moss - Eaves Wood - Silverdale - Crag Foot

After a few days of resting the broken toe in which I have managed to upload most of our photographs taken on previous holidays in Scotland, Wales and on the east coast I decided to give it a try. I was going to leave it till tomorrow but the mornings rain passed quickly over leaving a virtually cloud free sky although there was a good breeze. The walk had to be in our local area because of the time so once a gain it was off to Arnside & Silverdale.

Having left the car at Crag Foot we made our way up Warton Crag to gain access to the Nature Reserve.

Our entry point to the nature reserve

Looking down to Jenny Browns point with Grange over sands behind.

From Warton Crag we made our way to Leighton Hall. As we entered the grounds I got this picture of an old limestone kiln.

From Leighton Moss we made our way to Eaves Wood along a lane called The Row. As we walked along we passed the Silverdale Golf Club.

From the Pepper Pot we descended to the campsite for this picture of Arnside Knott

We then headed back via Siverdale and Jenny Browns point diverting into Jack Scout on the way to the Lime Kiln
