Arnside Knott

About this park

Arnside Knott, near Arnside in Cumbria, offers a captivating circular walk through a landscape renowned for its wildlife and stunning views. Dogs are very welcome throughout the trails, though they must be kept on a lead to protect the abundant natural habitats and wildlife of this special area. The terrain features uneven paths, steep slopes, and loose surfaces, so sturdy footwear is recommended for both you and your canine companion. The moderate 1.7-mile (2.72 km) route takes approximately two hours to complete, providing ample opportunity for a good leg stretch. The walk encompasses a variety of scenery, from ascending through woodland paths to reaching elevated viewpoints that offer magnificent panoramas across Morecambe Bay. You'll encounter charming features like windblown yew trees and stony tracks, with purple arrow waymarkers guiding you along the way. While there are no specific dog facilities like water bowls or dedicated bins, the natural beauty and fresh air make it a rewarding outing for dogs who enjoy a lead-led adventure. Parking is available at the Arnside Knott car park (LA5 0BP), providing a convenient starting point for the circular trail. While there are no dedicated cafes immediately at the car park, the nearby village of Arnside has amenities. The walk's challenge lies in its moderate difficulty with some steep sections and uneven ground, so it's best suited for fit dogs and owners. This National Trust gem promises a scenic and stimulating walk for those who appreciate nature's grandeur.
