Walk 2932 - A Green Burn horseshoe from Mill Bridge, Grasmere

This horseshoe walk links the high fells surrounding the valley containing Green Burn. Including four ‘Wainwrights’, Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Gibson Knott and Helm Crag, the views are generally good and, although there is some wet ground to contend with, the walking straightforward. In poor visibility navigation might be problematic on the section from Steel Fell to Calf Crag so choose a good day to enjoy the walk.
