A linear walk from Newhey to Littleborough following mostly good paths, although some may be muddy if the weather is wet. We will visit Nicholas Pike and Town Hill along with the visitor centre at Hollingworth Lake (for potential tea and cake!!) This walk does involve crossing a high motorway bridge over the M62.
