Overview

This walk climbs steadily up through woodlands to the Nab then over the moor to a cobbled footpath, that we follow until we reach Back Lane. After following Back Lane for a while; we will take a bridle path down towards Hut Lane. Then we will go through the fields to Limbrick; from here we make our way to the canal. We then take the tow path to Bagganley Lane, back to the starting point.
