A level path leads from the car park (west of A591) towards the banks of the River Rothay. The National Park Authority has provided gates specially designed for wheelchair access. Certain sections can be a bit rough but the riverbank and surrounding woodland provide a peaceful though popular route, especially in autumn when the trees change colour. It is not possible to go the full length of the riverside and you will have to return to the car park by the same route.
