Well what a delightfully easy and relatively flat walk that was! We parked on the roadside (lots of parking) behind Helton and took the path out past the Cop Stone (a bronze age standing stone thought to be part of a large stone circle). Several stone circles were evident before crossing the Roman road along High Street and walking along the edge of Barton Fell. The views from White Knott, Loup Knott and Arthur's Pike were superb. We then crossed to Bonscale Pike and its pillars before returning along the Roman road and crossing back to the start.
