| Margaret Cummins' Memorial Seat |
A seat has recently been placed on the Helm in memory of Margaret Cummins formerly of Abbey Gardens. The plaque on the seat states "Margaret Cummins - 1932-2010 - from her friends - she loved the Helm". Her many friends and family have contributed to the cost.
Margaret was an active member of many local organisations and was also Chairman of Natland Monday Club. Whenever she had time she would walk on the Helm.
The seat is situated approximately at SD53182 and anyone sitting on it has extensive views of Natland and the distant Lakeland hills all of which Margaret loved. To find the seat either go straight up the hill from the gate adjacent to the A65 and then turn left when you reach George Holmes' seat and continue along the path at the side of the hill. Alternatively leave the tarmac road at the car parking space midway between the A65 and the Station Inn and follow the right hand track to a cross roads of paths. Turn right here and the seat is about 100 yards further on.
