Ice age walk

Ice age walk - Orton Scar, Blasterfield and Dina Gill

Led by Professor Paul Carling, Sylvia Woodhead

This varied walk with superb views takes you through lovely limestone country which has been shaped by ice, water and people. Of particular interest are intriguing meltwater channels and impressive glacial erratic boulders, which tell us about the area’s icy past.

This lovely part of east Cumbria forms the north-western corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. With support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership is working with Cumbria GeoConservation and other partners to reveal and celebrate the area’s rich natural and cultural heritage, including its superb geology and landscape.
