Book on our website for free walk-and-talk sessions, each around 1.5–2km and suitable for people of moderate ability. These include walks exploring Dam Mire Wood and the work we have done here, a geology walk and an exciting evening bat walk.

Dam Mire Wood is just off Blease Road in Threlkeld village. There are two entrances. Both can be accessed from the small carpark: what3words.com/shuttled.chicken.recorders.
A regular free shuttle bus will pick people up from Threlkeld Village Hall or the Horse & Farrier Pub and take them up the hill to the site. These will be timed to tie in with the half hourly bus arrivals from Keswick and Penrith.
