Kendal to Sizergh along the River Kent, Sizergh

National Trust

Follows the River Kent through peaceful meadows and woodland on mostly flat, well-maintained paths with one gentle climb near Sizergh Castle. Suitable for older children but too long and occasionally muddy for buggies. Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock in fields. Gorgeous riverside scenery, National Trust gardens at Sizergh, and excellent chance of spotting kingfishers and herons along the water's edge make this a rewarding half-day route.

Scout Scar

Lake District National Park

Climbs steadily to a limestone escarpment with panoramic views over Kendal and the Kent Valley towards the Lakeland fells. Mostly clear paths but rocky underfoot in places with a steep final approach to the summit ridge. Not suitable for buggies; older children who are steady on uneven ground will manage fine. Dogs welcome but keep close near the edge. The 360-degree vista from the top makes this short ascent a local favourite.

Farm Trail

Winds through working farmland with gentle inclines and pastoral views of the Lake District fells. Suitable for families with older children who don't mind potentially muddy paths and livestock gates, but not buggy-friendly due to uneven terrain and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads around farm animals. A lovely short loop showcasing traditional Cumbrian agriculture, perfect for stretching legs between visiting Low Sizergh Barn's farm shop and café.
