Cumbria Coastal Way, Speel Bank The gate, on the footpath between Grassgarth and Speel Bank Farm is, like almost all the gates on and adjacent to public rights of way in this area, marred by an unwelcoming sign warning against trespass. Far from the sea and more than 150m (500 feet) above sea level, this footpath is nevertheless the route of The Cumbria Coastal Way and the link between established sections of the England Coast Path. This section of the England Coast Path has not yet been defined due to protracted negotiations with Holker Estates.
