Hiking

This quaint grade two listed church is nestled beatifully in the picturesque Newlands Valley. On a visit to the region, William Wordsworth was so taken by the image of the church through the leaves that he wrote the poem 'To May' to immortalise the moment. The church is popular with both hikers and tourists and makes for an opportunity for mindful or spiritual pause during a hill day.

Hiking

always check the weather not just for rain but also wind. A light breeze in the valley can be very windy on top of the fells.
