The route takes you away from the village along the River Eamont at the foot of Dunmallard Hill. Keep an eye out for herons fishing and deer coming out of the woods for a drink as you enjoy a moment of forest bathing.
Sit on the benches at the end of the path and enjoy watching the local wildlife in and around the River Eamont before returning back to the car park.
