FEI Trails

SCHOOLS VISITING BEACON FELL
There are three trails available for primary school use, combining the National Curriculum with the outdoors. The Math's, Science and Geography trails, cover key stage 1 & 2 using a self guided pack, schools can use this information in the classroom before and after visiting the Fell. We recommend that teachers visit the Fell prior to the school's visit to see the trails and equipment packs that are available. The packs contain equipment for each of the trails and can be hired at a cost of 5 plus a 20 deposit (per pack). An orienteering pack can be loaned and contains all the equipment to do the orienteering course designed for primary school children.

Starting at the 'Orme Sight' adjacent to the Visitor centre the trail leads up to the summit of Beacon fell. A long the trail you will also come across a snake, a bat and a 50ft heron. All the sculptures were carved by local artist Thompson Dagnall from materials found in the locality. It is hoped that in the future further sculptures will be added to this tail so keep your eyes open!
