High Rigg with a pub visit - perfect if you’re staying at Flusco Wood and want to do a walk close by that’s not too strenuous
High Rigg was a lovely walk we did on an overcast day - but that didn’t deter from how lovely it was.
We parked at St John’s Church which has a lovely and polite sign stating you are welcome to park there, but please keep clear on Sunday mornings for church goers - so please respect this if you’re heading there.
We did the walk as a loop and had some stunning views on the way up and down. It really is a gem of a fell!
Afterwards we headed to the Horse & Farrier at Threlkeld for some food and a drink. The pub was warm and welcoming and had a lot of fires which will make it super cosy in the winter
Definitely recommended if you’re wanting a shorter fell walk to earn and pint or two!
