Hiking
A step path leading from the churchyard down to the River Lune. The steps were built in 1820 for Dr Francis Pearson, who had a reputation as a political radical, to divert the existing public footpath that ran through his garden! There was a lot of opposition to the building of steps, which thereafter became locally known as the "Radical Steps".
Not the most even of steps so be careful when descending.
