ACCESS
Murton Fell is outside the restricted area and can be
visited at any time (though not by the route shown in our book)
The MOD arrangements for access to the Warcop Range

- Access to public rights of way in the Danger Area every Sunday
afternoon after 1pm

year

- Access to public rights of way in the Danger Area on at least 15

programme 7 days in advance and is updated daily
- Access to Mickle Fell is available (subject to training, high fire
risk etc) on a permit system only. Applications should be sent to the

As readers will have noticed, nearly all the routes recommended in
The
Mountains of England and Wales are now officially covered by the
Countryside and Rights of Way Act.
