Route description

The Lake District offers a choice of walks among the caves and landmarks of Cobham’s Little Berg. Outings can range from about 8 hrs to 2 days, depending on the loop and overnight stop. A network of paths links the area, with Cobham Camp near Himeville as the starting point. Book any cave you plan to use overnight.

Explore the Cobham area: Cobham’s landscape includes the Pholela River, grasslands and sandstone formations below the high escarpment. The reserve is used for day walks, overnight hiking and stages of the Giant’s Cup Trail. Read our Cobham Nature Reserve guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
