Overview

Starting from Fernyhalgh Lane in Fulwood we pass through the woodland of Haighton House then cross Cow Hill before passing the Industrial Estate to reach the top of Red Scar Woods. Joining the Guild Wheel we pass through the Brockholes Nature Reserve continuing along the River Ribble to a path leading up across the old Fishwick Golf Course. Passing through the large cemeteries we join the old Longridge railway to Gamull Lane before returning through woodland off Fulwood Row.
