Overview

Want to get into walking? Why not join us in our annual “Super Six” campaign of easy post Christmas and New Year walks specifically aimed at encouraging people who wish to give walking in the Lancashire countryside a try.

We guarantee a warm welcome, a smattering of humour and the likelihood of some mud so please ensure you wear suitable footwear and bring a waterproof jacket.

We set out from the village of Chatburn which sits at the foot of Pendle Hill. After making our way across some beautiful countryside we will arrive at the picturesque village of Downham for a short lunch break. After leaving Downham we make our way to an ancient 16th century pack horse bridge which is a great spot for photographs, then back to Chatburn for a well earned coffee or beer in the local pub.

The walk may be a little muddy in places given it is January so please wear either walking boots or an old pair of trainers.

If a Ramblers member please remember your membership card or App. If not a Ramblers member and joining us via Meet-up, please reserve a place on our meet-up site.

Meet at Chatburn Library - BB7 4AS. There is a free public car park and street parking available.
