The village of Staveley is situated a few miles to the north west of Kendal and at the entrance to the Kentmere Valley, one of the finest walkers and mountain bikers' territory to be found in England. The relatively gentle scarps of Reston Scar, Spy Crag and Lily Fell overlook Staveley and mark the beginning of an additional chain of hills known as the Kentmere Round.
