The B walk will leave the lovely town of Kirkby Stephen in an Easterly direction. The trail commences with a walk over a bridge and will follow a path alongside the river Eden for approx 2 miles towards Nateby. The trail will then head out over farmland and gradually acsend towards swallow pot lane. The trail will then meet Tommys road where we will reach the highest point of the walk. From Tommy's road we will descend back across farm fields towards Nateby meeting the river Eden once more. The walk has a mixture of quiet roads , fields and paths. We may encounter cows along the way so may have to re route slightly. There are some fabulous views along the way.
