About
Helm crag woods is situated on the banks of Helm crag en-route to the summit. Access is non restricted via The Lancrigg. Epic English woodland with meandering paths . A favourite place of William Wordsworth . There is a Dorothy Wordsworth memorial approximately half way up The walk on the upper path. A lot of the large trees were planted by Richardson the arctic explorer. We are currently raising funds to begin clearing some of the large monolithic trees that have fallen and re establish the cascading water courses that terrace into some very idyllic ponds.
