It is a haven for nature lovers, with bird life in abundance. It is perfect for a manual wheelchair user. The surface of the paths is compacted gravel and is suitable for wheelchairs. The entrance\/exit is 93cm wide at the widest part and can easily accommodate wheelchairs. The path is mainly flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route is clearly visible, just follow the path along the River Loxley. the route continues past the mill pond on your left and then continuing forward the path narrows as you pass by the house. Just after the house, the path turns sharply to the left, continues between two stone walls and comes out onto a broad flat lane (Black Lane).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manual wheelchair users may need a helpful push up the short incline. You emerge onto on a very quiet country lane. You can continue along the road to Loxley Road or return the way that you came.

The walk is steeped in history and it is a haven for folk who love wildlife. The bridges that were damaged by storm Desmond have been repaired and the former board walk has been replaced by a tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The River Greta is roughly aligned with the railway track and there are eight bridges along the route that cross over the river. The River Greta begins its life near Threlkeld and flows west through Keswick before joining the Derwent just after the latter flows out of Derwent Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the carpark in Threlkeld, head out of the village onto the cycleway which runs alongside the right-hand side of the A66 towards Keswick. Within 200m of leaving the village the track zigzags down onto what was the railway line. From here you get the first glimpse of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/route\/11279959\/Threkeld-to-Keswick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/Stile_Free_accessible_Walks_threkeld.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Threkeld to Keswick stile-free walk\">\n        <\/a>\n        <p>Threkeld to Keswick stile-free walk<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the Woodland Management Plan a variety of species including willow, alder and oak have been planted along the way, as well as other shrubs, such as Guelder Rose, which provides food for bees and other pollinators. The tree lined path is home to much wildlife, whilst on the river heron and dippers can be spotted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routes come to an end at the old railway station.  From here you can follow the quiet road down into Keswick. At the bottom of the steep road go through the gate on the left-hand side which leads into Fitz Park. Split into two areas covering 28 acres, Fitz Park is home to the local football, cricket, athletics, tennis and bowling clubs and has public tennis, bowling, putting and croquet available. There is also a sensory garden within the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a bus service which runs from Keswick back to Threlkeld, or alternatively you can retrace your steps. Disabled toilets are available at the railway station carpark, in Keswick and in Threlkeld. There are many pubs and cafes in Keswick which are wheelchair accessible and the Horse and Farrier Pub, as well as the community caf\u00e9 in Threlkeld is accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended by Debbie North from Access The Dales <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tip\">\n\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/img\/exclamation-mark.svg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><div class=\"tip-exclamation\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t<h4>Threkeld to Keswick stile-free walk<\/h4>\n\t<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 3.7 miles \/ <br><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy<br><strong>Start\/parking: <\/strong>Threlkeld car park<span class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"><span class=\"redactor-invisible-space\" style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn second map\" href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/route\/11279959\/Threkeld-to-Keswick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Threkeld to Keswick stile-free route <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/map-of-the-lake-district-north-eastern-area\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paper map for Threkeld and Keswick: OS Explorer OL5 <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Howk, Calbeck, Cumbria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Named after the River Cold Beck, Caldbeck provided waterpower for the industries that developed along the river during the 17th and 18th centuries.

It is possible, with care, to continue round the headland beneath the red sandstone cliffs to reach the whitewashed cottage at Fairy Dell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is off-road parking at the castle. There are accessible toilets at the ferry terminal at Lochrnaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended by Debbie North from Access The Dales <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/12172837\/fairy-dell-and-lochranz-castle-arran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/Stile_Free_accessible_Walks_lochrnaz.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Debbie North at Lochranz castle\">\n        <\/a>\n        <p>Debbie North at Lochranz castle<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tip\">\n\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/img\/exclamation-mark.svg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><div class=\"tip-exclamation\">\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t<h4>Isle of Arran stile-free walk<\/h4>\n\t<p><strong>Distance: <\/strong>2.3 miles \/ 3.7km<br><strong>Difficulty: <\/strong>Moderate<br><strong>Start\/parking:<\/strong> Pakring at Lochranz castle, KA27 8HQ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn second map\" href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/12172837\/fairy-dell-and-lochranz-castle-arran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isle of Arran stile-free route <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/map-of-isle-of-arran-explorer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paper map for Isle of Arran: OS Explorer 361 <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Falkirk Wheel to the Kelpies, Falkirk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two iconic landmarks celebrating Scottish industrial history in one short but spectacular walk through this busy lowland town.

Two iconic landmarks celebrating Scottish industrial history in one short but spectacular walk through this busy lowland town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting at the Falkirk Wheel \u2013 an immense rotating lift that connects boats to the Union Canal \u2013 you\u2019ll wind through the outskirts of Falkirk on a section of the newly opened Queen Elizabeth II Canal, which forms the eastern gateway to the Forth and Clyde Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This waterway was given the royal seal of approval in the summer of 2017, when it was officially opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and is regarded as one of the most complex waterways ever constructed in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the start at the Falkirk Wheel is impressive, the sight of the Kelpies is mind-blowing. The 30-metre high horse-head structures weigh 300 tonnes each and are the largest equine structures in the world. The statues celebrate the impact of horses on Scottish industrial history \u2013 pulling wagons, ploughs and barges \u2013 and are located in The Helix parkland, which is a great pace to explore at the end of the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This route was voted 94th in a 2017 ITV poll to find Britain\u2019s Favourite Walk.

National Parks are home to a large number of stile-free walks but there are also other places to look. Disused railway lines, shorelines and boardwalks are great locations for an leisurely walk with relatively smooth stile-free surfaces, as are local parks and many lakes. The <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/lake-district-cumbria-accessible-walks-for-all-pathfinder-guidebook-86\/\">OS&nbsp;Lake District &amp; Cumbria: Accessible Walks for All Pathfinder guidebook<\/a> is a great place to start if heading to the Lake District.
