    Tips

    November 14, 2025

    Although short lived, the River Kent is surely one of England's most scenic. It gathers high in the Kentmere fells and flows through Staveley and Kendal, before emptying into Morcambe Bay at the Kent Estuary. This riverside section forms a part of the Dales Way, a celebrated long-distance hike between Ilkley in West Yorkshire and Bowness-on-Windermere.
