This is a pleasant circular route with some gentle slopes around the busy waterfront area of Bowness and the quieter shoreline around Cockshott Point - OS Explorer Map OL7
Park at the side of Glebe Road, or in one of the car parks next to the road. Follow the road left. When Glebe Road bears to the left, carry straight on through a gate and into fields.
Cockshott Point is a short distance to the right, but is not easily reached by wheelchair users because it crosses a grassy field. Wheelchair users should stay on the surfaced path which emerges from the trees and leads into an open meadow, with lovely lake views. There are benches here, where you can look across to Belle Isle and watch the boats and car ferry.
Continuing south brings you out to Ferry Nab and a hive of boat activity. Head back north (short section here is fairly steep uphill) and continue along the smooth path to Glebe Road. Cross this and head into Rectory Road. This is closed to through traffic and will bring you back past the churchyard to the Information Centre in Bowness.
Please note that mobility scooters must be class 2 or 3 on the route.
