Fairy Steps

A walk with Grange U3A from Beetham to the Fairy Steps, Underlaid Wood, Storth. Sandside and returning to Beetham through Levens Deer Park.  Very enjoyable with good company.

The Fairy Steps used to be known as 'the Coffin Route' as Arnside Parish had to carry their deceased to consecrated group in Beetham.  Folk-lore has it that it you can climb the steps without touching the sides, then you will see a fairy!
