Overview

A nice circular walk starting by the windmill in Parbold village centre. We start along the Leeds - Liverpool canal before branching off through Fairy Glen towards Parbold Hill.  We then ascend Harrock Hill to the ruins of the old windmill.  From there we make our way back into Parbold for post walk refreshments.  The walk is likely to be muddy with some ascent so please wear appropriate boots.

Ramblers members please bring your card (or App) to  show at the walk start. Non Rambler members please book via meet-up, where we ask for £2 donation.
