Corpse Roads of Cumbria: Among the many ancient paths that criss-cross Cumbria are corpse roads which were used in medieval times to carry the dead from the remote parts of a parish to the mother church for burial. Around 30 of these still exist. Alan Cleaver and Lesley Park will detail their routes, talk about their history and describe the many legends and traditions surrounding them.
