Approaching Flimby



Towards St Nicholas Church




Down through Flimby via Wedgwood Road and past the M&S mini-mart on the right.


You can exit to the A596 either via Rye Hill Road or Brook Street. If you are early enough at the main road end of Brooke street you may purchase hot pies, etc. at The Papershop.


Now we would like to see the Pennygill to Risehow path brought up to the same standard. This pathway has good potential with fine views of the the local countryside and the Solway but it is badly in need of repair and resurfacing. Upgrading this pathway would allow cyclists and walkers to continue on from Flimby into the Ewanrigg area of Maryport thus avoiding an early return to the A596 traffic .
