Positioned on the western slopes of the Forest of Bowland an encompassing woodland and a lake, the Wyresdale Park estate itself offers wild swimming, paddleboarding plus miles of walking through fields, woods, valleys and fells.

Nicky Nook, though modest in height, offers splendid views over Lancashire’s coastal plain, Morecambe Bay and beyond to the Lakeland fells. On a really clear day it is possible to see the Isle of Man and the Great Orme on the North Wales coast.

An easy and popular walk from the centre of Scorton along the side of the reservoir and then over Nicky Nook with a return visit to Wyresdale Park's Applestore cafe.
