Swale Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a lovely new riverside route, designed to be family friendly running from Reeth to Gunnerside.

There are no tricky sections (although if it's dry the gravel can get a little drifty, so keep your speed down), so it's perfect for just spinning along, enjoying the view.

The old smelting ruins at Blakethwaite are full of character and are a fascinating place to explore. The area was a site of intensive lead mining in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the landscape still shows many scars from its industrial past.
