Millom area boasts wide variety of activities to enjoy
When the tide is out, a gentle slope over smooth loose stones leads to a wide expanse of safe sandy beach. The advantages of easy access, ample parking and toilet facilities plus the impressive backdrop of Black Combe Fell attract many to the seashore of Silecroft. Here, there’s room for all to either just sit and relax, walk the dog, horse ride through the surf, fly a kite, canoe, water ski, beach and boat fish and more.Silecroft is an established fishing venue especially well known for the sea fishing from the beach. South Cumbria Sea Sports Association will provide help and advice of this, fishing clubs and boat fishing. Visit www.scssa.co.uk.Both Murthwaite Green, in Silecroft, and Cumbrian Heavy Horses, in the Whicham Valley, provide an extensive range of equestrian activities of novice to experienced rider ability. Exhilarating beach and fell rides lasting from as little as 30 minutes to a full day, and a choice of demanding trails of around 70 miles in the Wasdale and Langdale Valleys. See www.murthwaitegreen.co.uk and www.cumbrianheavyhorses.com.A nine-hole course with a superb view of sea and fells. Can be breezy.The headquarters of the World Owl Trust are based in Muncaster Castle. It houses the largest collection of owls in existence and provides free treatment to injured owls and other wildlife. A chance to “adopt” an owl and an opportunity for the children to register for the “kids-only zone”. The children will be allocated their own secret password to gain entry. Muncaster Castle is now fully open for the peak season which runs until September 6. The gardens and owl centre are open from 10.30am until 5pm daily. The castle is open Sundays to Fridays from noon until 4.30pm. The castle is closed most Saturdays to host weddings but is open on all bank holiday Saturdays. The “meet the birds” show takes place every day at 2.30pm and don’t miss “heron happy hour” at 4pm daily when the wild herons fly in to be fed. See www.muncaster.co.uk.The not too strenuous tracks to the summit of Black Combe are popular, as are the routes on and around the nearby Furness Fells. Beyond, walkers converge in the Langdale and Wasdale valleys before setting out on the ascents of Scafell Pike, Great Gable, Bow Fell or Pillar. The latter of course require a good deal more effort and experience, and should not be attempted unless wearing suitable clothing and footwear. All visitors should also be aware of the sudden change of weather conditions which do occur at higher levels.The circle of 55 stones has been dated as one of the earliest sites in Britain. It can be reached either on foot from the eastern side of Black Combe; a round trip between one and two hours, or by road from Silecroft to Duddon Bridge on the A595 before turning on to the fell road in the direction of Ulpha. The circle is a mile or so beyond. It stands on private land but can be easily viewed from a nearby public footpath. A legend suggests that a church is buried beneath the site, while another tale, probably linked to the former, tells of the devil destroying the beginnings of a church building, thus giving rise to the circles alternative name of Sunkenkirk. This is a location of lovely views, walks and cycling routes.
