We start from Dufton climbing steadily to the east of Dufton Pike before climbing more steeply up through mine working towards Great Rundale Tarn.
Picking up the outflow we follow it down to Maizebeck Bridge and turn southwest to High Cup Nick before dropping down into the south side of the valley and continuing into Appleby via meadows and woodland. |

| From Dufton the route is directly east along the Pennine Way, past Bow Hall 702250 and Peeping Hill to High Cup Nick.
This is a gentle climb of about 1600ft with two short steep bits, finishing on the edge of the level band of resistant volcanic rock, which is the cause of this unusual valley.
The route continues down along the south side of High Cup Gill to Harbour Flatt farm 722232.
After the farm we follow the road a short distance before taking the footpath past Castle Hill and through Flakebridge Wood to Appleby.

| We start our walk from Moot Hall (now the Tourist Information Centre) situated at the northern end of Boroughgate which is Appleby’s uncommonly wide main street.
Heading in a southerly direction, we skirt the Castle Wall to the River Eden which we keep to our left.
We make our way to the 11th century church of St. James and Ormside Hall Pele tower before walking through Great Ormside to the spectacular Rutter Force Waterfall.
Then, heading in a northerly direction following Hoff Beck, we make our way to Colby Bridge, which we will cross back to Appleby, whilst observing spectacular views of Dufton Pike, High Cup Nick and Murton Pike in the distance… awesome!!

| This is a circular walk, starting from Appleby and taking in many different terrains.
We go over a number of stiles (around 14), however we hope that the Flora and Fauna that we will view makes up for the muddy paths and stile clambering. (On the recce we were even lucky enough to see some Roe Deer).
We start the walk from Appleby, heading out on a couple of roads and lanes until we reach a stile, which we go over and then cross fields until we reach the River Eden.
Once alongside the River Eden, we follow it for quite a while, heading South until we reach some steps which we climb up away from the river.
We continue towards Great Ormside, crossing the river on a couple of occasions and then head on a road towards Rutter Force, a very powerful waterfall and great photo opportunity!
From Rutter Force, we head back up north following footpaths alongside Hoff Beck to Hoff.
From Hoff we cross fields and follow bridleways back into Appleby.
