Plumpton Hall via Canal Foot

Back to Self-guided walks

This short walk adds a circular loop to the popular walk along the canal towpath to Canal Foot. This takes in a scramble along the bay shore limestone rocks (look for fossils) and passes Plumpton Hall, a grade II listed manor house with wonderful round chimneys dating from 17th to 18th centuries. In the event of high tide covering the rocks, the inland deviation can be taken to complete the circuit via Next Ness.

Start/Finish: Booths/McDonalds car park
Distance: 3.2 miles (5.2 km)
Ascent: 75ft.  (23m)
