| Walk: | Stonyhurst College, River Hodder, Cromwell Bridge, Winkley Hall Farm, Ribble Way, Jumbles Rocks, The Shireburn | ||
| Start Point: | Hurst Green roadside | Grid Reference: | SD 684 381 |
| Distance: | 7.2 miles | Ascent: | 523 feet |
| Time: | 2.8 hours | ||
| Weather: | Mainly overcast but mild for time of year. | ||
| Comments: | Walk done in the opposite direction to when it was started previously but had to be cut short. Interesting to see matting being used to maintain the path. This was also seen near the beginning of the walk sometime ago and was settling in well. | ||
Autumn colours with Pendle Hill behind
If you go down to the woods today!!!!
