Description

The Cistercian Way enables you to explore this unique and fascinating landscape at a leisurely walking pace. The walk starts at Grange-over-Sands from where footpaths are followed over Hampsfell and down into Cark. From here you may follow a route north to Greenodd from where a bus can be taken into Ulverston or take a train across the sands from Cark. From Ulverston the route continues to Barrow via Urswick, Dalton and Furness Abbey before reaching the end of the walk at Piel Island. The route can be walked in two or more days. Because the route links with railway stations it may also be completed in several easy stages.

The Cistercian Way follows waymarked public roads and footpaths. The route is shown on the map and is covered by OS Sheet 96
