The limestone scenery of Whitbarrow Scar and the surrounding area is very rare to find in the Lake District. Most of the rock here is volcanic, formed from the ash …

The inscription on the stone in the cairn reads:
This Reserve

Great views towards Morecambe Bay, you can see Blackpool Tower and Heysham Power Station on a clear day, just don't get too drawn into the view because there's a cliff not too far away!

The first section of the walk is in the forest then you head up on to the top. You can get a great view across the hills and to Morcambe Bay and see a lovely sunset. I love doing different versions of walks and seeing the area from different persoectives

A great walk to avoid the crowds in other areas of the Lake District . Great 360 degree views . No facilities on the route but we called at the Derby Arms in Witherslack after the walk .
The limestone scar is the perfect environment for wild flowers including of orchids
