Adverse weather conditions with wind gusts up to 45mph predicted.
We are the Take a Hike Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
7 miles on firm tracks and paths with one sustained ascent. Starting in Barnoldswick (now in Lancashire but part of Yorkshire until 1974), the footpath climbs steadily on to the moor where we join the Pendle Way. At this point (weather permitting!) we should see wide views over Barnoldswick and the countryside of West Craven. We reach a trig point at Weets Hill, before joining a quiet lane and crossing back over the moor on the Pennine Bridleway, with views to East Lancashire and beyond. After leaving the moor we pass through a couple of fields to the village of Salterforth, where we join the towpath at the Leeds Liverpool Canal, which leads us back into Barnoldswick.
There are public toilets available at the car park where we start the walk. Please keep dogs on leads.
Meet at the free public car park at 5 Wellhouse Road (near the Co-Op).
