- Potter Tarn Walk (& Optional Swim) Lake District by Adventure SolosLA8 9LR , Kendal
This walk has it all; a train station, gentle walking (not too far not steep), the possibility of a swim to cool down and a 700 year old tower!
Better still - we can pop in for some food or drink from a selection of well known local spots to quench our thirst, cool down or warm ourselves up at the end, depending what the weather has offered!
The hike is just over 6.1 miles (9.8km) and after passing St Mary's Tower, follows The Dales Way, The River Kent and passes two different lakes in the hills; Potter Tarn and the picturesque Gurnal Dubs. The latter is our spot for a break and optional swim before completing the loop back around to Staveley.
The highest point on this route is 300m, and we start at approximately 100m, so there are no major hills to ascend or descend on the walk. The walk takes around 4.25 hours including a swim stop.
We walk at a steady pace for this hike; a low/moderate level of fitness will suffice. If you are entering the water, you should do so slowly, you mustn't stay in for long and you should have additional clothing and snacks to help you warm up afterwards.
Please note that any swimming is subject to conditions being deemed suitable by your Adventure Solos host & leader.

Day Hikes by Adventure Solos are a great way to get to know us if you're interested in our solo-friendly adventures. We set a fairly slow and steady pace for these walks, making them social and inclusive events. All walks are lead by an Adventure Solos host that is also a qualified Mountain Leader and first aider (usually Chris from Adventure Solos).
This lovely riverside walk undulates along the River Wharfe, passing by Bolton Abbey on the return leg, with a visit to an awesome nearby American Diner (Billy Bob’s) where you can load up on calories again after! The route we follow is 7 miles (11km) and will take around 4.5 hours, including half an hour to wander the grounds of the Abbey. We will walk at a fairly gentle pace for this hike, but you should have a moderate level of fitness to allow you to walk for the 7 miles. For the avoidance of doubt, the cost of your food/drink at the diner is not included in the event. The event starts near the roadside parking outside the Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa, BD23 6AJ.
