Discovery Walks - Easedale Walk
These full day walks have been designed to encourage pupils to discover the physical and human history of our spectacular landscape. The routes follow footpaths and bridleways, so be prepared for rough terrain.
The history of the landscape is brought to life through interactive activities including word poetry, map reading and role play.
