We are the South Ribble Ramblers covering the District between Preston and Chorley in Lancashire, based on the town of Leyland.
This walk takes in part of the longer Witton Weaver’s Way. It combines ancient and modern history, water and wildlife, to produce a fascinating ramble taking in Turton and Entwistle reservoir, Turton Tower, Jumbles reservoir, Turton Bottoms, Wayoh reservoir and the Strawbury Duck Inn.
The ground underfoot is mainly good tracks, with some short muddier sections (weather dependent). There are a couple of short, stiff climbs and at least one stile…
Trousers are recommended as nettles, brambles and the like are growing vigorously at this time of year.
Meet at Bartridge Road car park, Bartridge Road, off Green Arms Road. This is the lower car park. There is another higher car park which is also accessed from Green Arms road. The two car parks are linked by a footpath.
