Kirkby Stephen - Nine Standards Rigg (Walk ID: 4210) The cairns which form the Nine Standards are just about visible from some parts of the town and are a major attraction for walkers despite the many beautiful riverside and valley walks available. The ascent is a long but steady climb and I have chosen to use the now surfaced fell road to gain height easily. This is also the way that the Coast to Coast Walk goes. The descent is by moorland paths, less distinct, muddier and rougher, but once down there are good bridleways and a short riverside stretch to use.

Smardale Wildlife Reserve (Walk ID: 3375) A lovely, simple and easy walk along the Smardale Wildlife Reserve, a disused railway and a haven for wildlife. Cross a spectacular viaduct to see limekilns before returning along the other side of the valley; not a walk for anyone with bad vertigo.
