Visiting Ings
Ings Village is an ideal base for a days cycling, for walking or for a cycling or for a walking holiday. There are some excellent places to stay, our award-winning pub, a delightful new cafe, a state-of-the-art bike-store, and a filling station with shop.
Ings is situated on a cycle route which runs alongside the A591 and gives access to both road and mountain biking trails.
The River Gowan flows through the village and is home to herons, dippers and the native white-clawed crayfish. You'll see buzzards and on occasion a red kite or a red squirrel.
There are walks here for all except perhaps for the most driven. Most are well signposted, many even showing where you are going. To the South West you can reach School Knott and its tarn which provides a glorious vista to Lake Windermere and the fells beyond. Nearby you can join the Dales Way. To the North side of the valley, you can climb Reston Scar, or walk over to Kentmere or Troutbeck and beyond.
Here are a number of short walks. Many of the footpaths are across farmland, so please take care to close gates behind you and keep your dog at your side, and on a lead during lambing or when passing livestock. Sheep abound, as does mud!
