Hidden on the limestone ridge overlooking Milnthorpe Sands are the Fairy
Steps. Set in decidous woodland the steps can be challenging for those
of a broader girth. The steps are on a public right of way between Hazelslack
and Beetham. The way is signposted as you take the side road north out
of Beetham towards Storth. Legend has it that anyone who can squeeze through
the fairy steps without touching the limestone sides can have a fairy
wish granted them!
If visiting the area be sure to explore Arnside Knott and the beautiful
woodlands around Silverdale.
