| Walk: | Towneley Hall Barwise car park, Burnley Way, Clowbridge Reservoir, Crown Point Road, Singing Ringing Tree, Cliviger, Towneley Hall | ||
| Start Point: | Towneley Hall Barwise car park | Grid Reference: | SD 851 306 |
| Distance: | 8.5 miles | Ascent: | 1,353 feet |
| Time: | 4 hours walking, 5.5 hours including stops | ||
| Weather: | Sunny and hot with a light, welcome breeze | ||
| Comments: | Having completed this walk previously the route finding should have been easy. However difficulties ranged from a short steep section that was almost impossible to navigate, to footpaths being changed and lots of extra options. This is reflected in the time it took to complete the walk compared to the actual walking time. However it was good to get back to a decent distance and elevation completed. | ||
As part of the Burnley Arts Trail . . .
three of the four representations . . .
of the four seasons . . .
are difficult to identify due to erosion over a few years
The Singing Ringing Tree at Crown Point . . .
Burnley's Panopticon completed in 2006,
is a musical sculpture made from pipes of galvanised steel
that harness the energy of the wind in order to produce its sound.
Nearly back as we pass the fountain in Towneley Gardens -
just got to find the car!!!
