Nine Standards Rigg from Kirkby Stephen

Hard, 17.5 km, 555 m up, about 4 hours 30 minutes

Long Meg and Lacy's Caves from Little Salkeld

Moderate, 9.3 km, 135 m up, about 2 hours

Eden's finest short walk: a great Neolithic stone circle, a riverside wood and the red sandstone chambers of Lacy's Caves above the Eden.
