| Walk: | Dean Brook, Ribble Valley Jubilee Trail, Greengore, Green Thorn, Longridge Fell, Morton House, Stockbridge Cottages, Stonyhurst College | ||
| Start Point: | Hurst Green Village Hall car park | Grid Reference: | SD 684 382 |
| Distance: | 6.8 miles | Ascent: | 816 feet |
| Time: | 3 hours | ||
| Weather: | Cold and breezy with sunny spells | ||
| Comments: | A good and varied walk, rather muddy on the way to the main Longridge Fell footpath but with quite dry grassy fields to clean the boots on the way back. Careful navigation was needed past Morton House as the memory didn't match what the map was telling us!! | ||
Climbing up from Dean Brook . . .
a pleasant footpath takes us to . . .
a woodland area with waterfalls . . .
and Luna takes a short break
Greengore, a 17th century hunting lodge
Luna enjoys the freedom of the main footpath where the trees have been felled . . .
opening up views over Clitheroe to Pendle Hill and . . .
north to Totridge Fell and Dunsop Bridge beyond
An unexpected sight . . .
but this pony won't be going anywhere soon
