| Walk: | Mellor Knoll Hause, Whitemore, Dinkling Green, New Laund, Burholme Bridge, Dunsop Bridge | ||
| Start Point: | Trough Road lay-by | Grid Reference: | SD 647 505 |
| Distance: | 9 miles | Ascent: | 979 feet |
| Time: | 4 hours | ||
| Weather: | Mainly sunny | ||
| Comments: | Difficult to navigate due to missing stiles and inaccessible gates. I had to backtrack and find alternative routes to complete the walk. Rocky and wet terrain at times but a very pleasant end to the walk alongside the River Hodder. | ||
Langden Beck from the start point with Hodder Bank Fell in the distance
An unusual object on the footpath but rather than for walkers . . .
I think it belongs to the Inch Perfect Trials centre which can be seen from here
A bridge across a gully - or fallen trees??
Bluebells galore but the best were out of camera range :(
The dead, the old and the new - fallen trees are being replaced by natural woodland
New Laund Farm . . .
has an interesting entrance
