View from Spring Wood
From Whalley Bridge . . .
the weir can only just be seen
An amusing gallery . . .
on Whins Lane above Read
A new gate replaces . . .
the unusual one seen in June
Shady Walks, very pleasant deciduous woodland
Pigmy goats
Written in stone
Quarry beside the disused Wiswell Wireless Station . . .
where a lone tree . . .
hangs onto the rock face
Whalley Nab in the background . . .
as we approach the end of the walk
