Walk from Thurstonfield to Burgh by Sands
This walk requires proper footwear, as the terrain is mixed at this time of year. The route to Burgh by Sands should only be attempted in dry weather. If in doubt, ask.
Burgh by Sands to Beaumont
At the crossroads in Burgh by Sands, turn right, you’ll see the St Michael’s Church on your right, go through the churchyard and come out at a gate on the far left. Take a few moments to read the granite time-line of events down the centuries, alongside the left-hand side of the churchyard path. Read more about Burgh-by-sands and its connection to Kings and Romans.


Beaumont to Kirkandrews-on-Eden
We had a short break at Beaumont village green admiring the Church which is on a mount. Hadrian’s Wall path has a temporary diversion here. Follow the diversion, with the Church on your right, take the next road left, which is the road leading to the Beaumont Parish Hall. This is a quiet road with the Parish Hall on the left-hand side. Just before the T junction with the main road in Kirkandrews-on-Eden, there is an old metal gate that leads onto the Churchyard.
Kirkandrews-on-Eden to Grinsdale
Go through the churchyard at Kirkandrews-on-Eden and turn right at the end, with the stream on your right-hand side. Pick up a sign to Grinsdale on the left-hand side and go through the kissing gate.

Grinsdale to Carlisle
The approach to Grinsdale is dominated by a large Farmyard, to the right of which is a kissing gate onto a fenced lane. Turn right at the top, going out of the village, there is a kissing gate to the left-hand side. Walk along the left-hand edge of the field and down to a footbridge over a stream and continue to the line of the trees.
