Overview

Starting from the War Memorial car park in Whittle-le-Woods we follow the main paths through the Cuerden Valley Park leaving the park to pass Hawks Clough and reach Clayton Brook. We then follow the old paths through Clayton Brook to reach Carr Brook Linear Park climbing to Chorley Old Road and the course of the Lancaster Canal (South). We return by following the old canal round the Whittle Hills before descending to the A6 main road at St John's Church.
