Hiking
The church bell dates from before the Reformation and on it is inscribed 'Santa Bega ora pro nobis', which translates to St Bega pray for us. Bega was the pious daughter of an Irish chieftain who fled Ireland for Cumbria to escape a forced marriage to a Norse prince. The St Bega's Way long-distance trail passes by the church on its way to St Bega's church by Bassenthwaite Lake.

The chapel is gone, but the wall of the church and cemetery still seems to fit Wordsworth's description perfectly.
