Warton Crag Local Nature Reserve — Attraction in Lancaster

Free parking at the Crag which is always a bonus. The first thing you see when you drive in is the immense wall! Such an awesome sight. There are 2 marked walks that you can do, a long and short. The short one takes you to the top of the wall to show you an awesome panaromic view of the area. All the way from the bay to morecambe and inland with he rolling hills. The long walk takes you into the woodland. Within the woddlamds there are many trails so quite easy to go off track and then hard to retrace which I discovered.

There are some squeeze styles and short sections of steep rock to negotiate, but nothing too difficult. Altogether, it's a great walk with wo...

I love this place, free parking and free to enjoy. TIP: have the AllTrails app the first time to help you orientate yourself. Although it's not giant (but bigger than you think!) you can end up walking in circles (talking from experience!) There's different routes for a decent leg stretch and easier tracks. Good for kids to explore but not prams or accessibily friendly because it's all natural trails (no wooden flat walkways etc) views are amazing! Can see for miles ! Even when it's "busy" you don't often bump into people or feel crowded. There are sometimes cows grazing so dogs can go but need to be...
