Wyre Way Part 4 – The Tarnbrook Loop
The Wyre Way is part of the UK national network of long distance walking routes. The route follows the course of the river Wyre from its estuary outlet into Morecambe Bay to the fells above Abbeystead where the river has its source.
About The Trail
The Tarnbrook loop is a relatively short walk round the headwaters of the River Wyre, crossing its two main feeder streams – the Marshaw Wyre and the Tarnbrook Wyre. The route touches the edge of the high moorland of the Forest of Bowland and has a much wilder feel than the downstream sections. After crossing pasture land up to the hamlet of Tarnbrook, the route climbs steadily to its high point on Hind Hill, from where, on a clear day there are views down the Wyre Valley to coast, and across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District. The return to Abbeystead follows the course of the Marshaw Wyre, descending through a mixture of grazing land and woodland, past the large country estate house of the Duke of Westminster, and back to Stoops Bridge in Abbeystead.
