Go through, Muker, and Gunnerside and as you enter Low Row look out for a brown sign on your right for Hazel Brow Farm Visitor Centre, approx 20 yards beyond this on the left is the entrance of the road leading to Laykin. It is between a small cottage with a small white conservatory and a barn with green wooden doors.

NB

It is a very sharp turn left to get onto our track- sometimes it is easier to carry on past the turn, go into the village and turn around in the Punchbowl Inn car park.

Once you are on our track…keep straight on through a wood and water splash and keep going, as you take the sharp bend keep to the left hand side as this is less steep. Laykin is at the end of this track
