Although short lived, the River Kent is surely one of England's most scenic. It gathers high in the Kentmere fells and flows through Staveley and Kendal, before emptying into Morcambe Bay at the Kent Estuary. This riverside section forms a part of the Dales Way, a celebrated long-distance hike between Ilkley in West Yorkshire and Bowness-on-Windermere.

Managed by the Woodland Trust, Beckmickle Ing is a lovely woodland along the River Kent. It's easy to reach from nearby Staveley and can be linked to a number of great walks in the area. It's particularly delightful in spring, when the bluebells are at their best. Keep an eye out for the resident roe deer too.

I’ve walked routes past here in all different weather over the years, it’s steep going up from the Bowston end but not too bad via the Longsleddale Road end. Going down from the tarn takes a winding route that either passes Craggy Woods or passes a small farm shop that links to footpaths down to Staveley.

Don’t miss here for the best ice cream treat! Weds-Sun 12-6pm, with seasonal variations. Check website/facebook. You’ll be so disappointed if it’s closed.
