Not to sure which way you would got to Bolton from Darwen but it could be The Jumbles which is found by going through to Bolton over the moors on the back roads. If it the one just off the A666 then that is Entwistle Water

My favourite local beauty spot is...sitting in the Stanley Sports Bar watching the sun set over the Clayton End. To these eyes, there is not a more beautiful sight in Accrington!

The site of the top reservoir in Ossy, on the moors above Haslingden Old Road.

I love following the path of the stream up. You can still see the massive boulders that were washed down when the res broke it's banks in the early seventies.

On a clear day you can play how many counties you can see from the top game.

It's wild, wonderful, and beautiful....and is the place where you'll one day find my ashes scattered!

Still working on this one.

Trying to think of somewere with some trees a bit of water running and no one for a good mile and a half so I might need to find a comprimise.
