Duddon Valley Walk Description
Walking the Duddon Valley Trail is a great excursion for anyone looking to experience some of the hilly terrain that the Lake District is known for, without taking on a more challenging route. The trail will see you head to the southwest to climb uphill through Dunnerdale Forest at the foot of Harter Fell before traversing the undulating terrain to the south. After descending the hillside and walking along the valley floor, you will pass through the charming village of Seathwaite and follow the trail to the northeast. Here, you will traverse an open stretch of farmland before meeting up with the winding banks of the Duddon River. Follow the river north to eventually return to the car park where you started.
