Amazingly peaceful part of Walney yet just across the channel from the bustle of Barrow. Bird life brilliant. I'd recommend parking in North Scale and walking north along the High Water line to the reserve and dunes and returning past flooded quarries onto perimeter path north east of airfield and along Lenny Hill lonning back to the Crown for an excellent pub meal or pint.
Nice walk although depending on the route you take some parts have become over grown which is awkward when passing, but it's a nice place, has plenty wild flowers and Shrubs and old bunkers, there are plenty to see in the ponds but I didn't see toad's (but there are a few ponds). But still, lovely fresh air, lovely walk, lovely place.
A wild landscape with impressive views over the estuary towards Black Comb. A free car park makes access simple. A visit is recommended.
Beautiful walk. Goes on for a while, we didn't go all the way but the walk we did felt nice, everyone we passed seemed friendly.
Beautiful and peaceful walk finished with a stroll along the coast.
