Overview

Want to get into walking? Why not join us as we launch our annual 'super six' campaign of 'easy' post Xmas & New Year walks specifically aimed at encouraging people who wish to give walking in the Lancashire countryside a try.

We guarantee a warm welcome, a smattering of humour and the likelihood of some mud so please ensure you wear suitable footwear and bring a waterproof jacket!

Our walk starts on Whins Lane, Wheelton and visits Brinscall and the historic model village Withnell Fold en route. The route also takes us along a stretch of the Goyt.
