We start in the delightful conservation village of Blanchland and take a route past a couple of tiny hamlets before heading onto the moors along the ancient Carriers’ Way. This was a bustling area in the heyday of lead mining, with traces of medieval and prehistoric history too. After a few miles on the open fells, we descend through deciduous woodland back into Blanchland. After the walk why not enjoy a pint in the village’s medieval Lord Crewe Arms?
