The Fairy Steps, Beetham
The Fairy Steps in Underlaid Wood, Slack Head near Beetham in the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, Cumbria.
The Fairy Steps are in a narrow cleft in a limestone cliff on the old corpse road from Arnside to Beetham. On the north face of the crag an old metal ring is believed to have been used to help haul coffins up the steps when the dead from Arnside had to be carried to the consecrated ground in Beetham. .According to legend, if you can walk down the narrow steps without touching the sides, the fairies will grant you a wish!
