This is a 2.2 mile circular guided walk with a focus on the Lancaster Canal in Kendal, although filled in and ‘dry’ , the route is protected and now promoted as a Towpath Trail. Some original bridges remain and buildings at Canal Head at the very top. Photos and maps are used along the way to put these in context.
Route is on good paths/pavement, with minimal road crossings and mainly on a level. The towpath trail is a shared walking/cycle route and wide enough in most of the route for people and bikes. Good walking shoes/boots recommended.
