🚂 Thacka Beck Nature Reserve 🚂

Thacka Beck can be found off the Gilwilly Industrial Estate in Penrith. There is roadside parking on Bowerbank Way, postcode CA11 9BQ. This short loop of approximately 0.75 mile is a great walk for those wanting to stretch little legs. The route is pram, bike and scooter accessible.

We often scooter this route twice to make it a 1.5 mile loop.

It may only be a short walk but it provides plenty of entertainment- this week we found snails, slugs, a secret passage in the overgrown grass and spotted plenty of trains speed by 😀 Our children don’t always need long, strenuous walks – sometimes none of us have the energy for that 😂 Don’t be fooled by the photos, I too have days where my energy levels are low. This is when I love these shorter, accessible walks – we are still able to get out in the fresh air without hiking for miles 🙌🏻 👣
