Our Holiday Church this year will be a lovely walk, sculpture trail and picnic at Beacon Fell Country Park. Rev’d Nathaniel is really looking forward to a relaxing afternoon of outdoor fun and fellowship!
The round walk is mainly flat and about one and a half miles long. Remember your picnic, waterproofs/sun hats and walking shoes/trainers. It is advisable to wear insect repellent and long trousers. We will meet at the Visitor Centre ready to set off at 4pm. There is parking nearby at Fell House car park (or Chestnut car park behind the centre if it’s busy.) The pay machines are broken so it’s free! The Cafe closes at 3.30pm but the toilets stay open. The postcode is PR3 2NL.
