Saunterings:  Walking in North-West England

Places

That is, Places (other than the Hills, Lakes and Dales) of interest to walkers

sr tree Saunterings is a set of reflections based upon walks around the counties of Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire in North-West England (as defined in the Preamble). Apart from the Hills, Lakes and Dales of North-West England there are other places that may be of interest to a walker (well, to me, anyway).

Below is a list of some of them. Generally speaking, they are marked by a blue star or a viewpoint symbol on the OS map or are antiquities, National Nature Reserves (NNRs) or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). I've squashed the list to the left so that it's readable on mobile phones. The right-hand column indicates a walk to or around the place, the number being a link to a Sauntering visit and a + indicating a pre-Sauntering visit (as far as I recall).
