January 14, 2022,The Duddon Iron Furnace – Swinside Stone Circle Loop from Broughton in Furness

Jan 2022. The first & least section of this walk through the forest are challenging due to the amount of trees down following a large storm. It is possible, but involves a bit of a detour and a bit of climbing & scrambling through the debris. I can't imagine it will be cleared very quickly.
