Overview

Walking from Grindleton we will make our way through Greendale Wood and climb gradually up Green Lane to Beacon Hill where we will have an early lunch and enjoy lovely panoramic views over Pendle and the Ribble Valley ( weather permitting ). We will then walk back along quiet lanes and field paths with lovely views all the way.
