Using this guide

The routes described in this guide lie largely within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which encompasses almost the whole of the land to the west of the A6 between Warton and Milnthorpe. To the east of the M6, and outside the AONB, are the equally beautiful limestone hills of Farleton Fell and Knott, Holme Park Fell and Hutton Roof Crags.

Most of the walks are on well signed, well trodden paths suitable for all the family. Footwear should have a sole with a good grip and be substantial enough to withstand rough terrain. On Hutton Roof Crags the terrain is especially rocky and rugged, and here boots are an advantage. Note that in wet conditions limestone can be treacherously slippery underfoot and care must be taken on the limestone pavements with their numerous crevices. The woodland paths have many tree roots and sections of rough stony terrain. Scrambling along the rocky shore has become more difficult since the demise of the salt-marsh and care needs to taken to heed the incoming tide. There are safe high-tide options.
