Description
Allen Banks and Staward Gorge – details to be confirmed
The Allen Banks walk is a lovely walk along the banks of the River Allen and in the woodland and farmland surrounding it. The area that we walk in is mostly managed by The National Trust.
We will start at the car park just off the A69. If you are a member of The National Trust and have a valid car sticker, the car park is free. Otherwise, there is a small fee for parking here that goes to the upkeep of Allen Banks.
Storm Desmond severely damaged the Allen Banks area a few years ago. The National Trust have reinstated the paths around the river and woodland, that were washed away. The job that they have done is wonderful and really compliments the area.
