Gunnerside Gill is a rich mix of scenic beauty and industrial heritage dating back to its key importance in the days of the lead mining industry. We start our walk from Gunnerside along the valley path, with lots of evidence of mine workings, and the remains of a smelt mill and peat store. We then climb onto higher ground where the landscape is completely dominated by the former industry. As we complete our walk we move onto moorland managed for the today’s key land uses of grouse moorland and sheep rearing, before descending back to our starting point.
