Talking Re: walking/rambling

There are a number of local walk leaflets avalible free from the tourist information bureau. You could try going up the Kings Highway, via the quarry road at the back of the Coppice and up to Hambledon hill or the Gamblers Caves and coming back either by Spire Farm and Sandy Lane or Plantation Street or carry on towards Baxenden coming out by Sherfin Mill

By the way, I went up Oak Hill Park a number of times last year, sat by the war memorial reading my book and musing on the fact that despite it being a beautiful day and having a well kept and large park, nobdy else was there. Maybe we should build a panopticon to encourage the communities to use this facility!

Come to Manchester. It's good to get the city under your feet once in a while.
Or you could try Le Parkour?

Hi

Thought you might like to know about 'Stepping Out' Hyndburn's Walking Project. We provide a number of short circular walks around the Hyndburn area. All walks are led by fully trained volunteer walk leaders from the community.

LED WALK PROGRAMME:
MORNING WALKS– Time 10.30am
AFTERNOON WALKS– Time 1.30pm

MON MORNING:
PLACE: Rishton , MEETING POINT: The Centre, School Street

MON AFTERNOON:
PLACE: Clayton-Le-Moors, MEETING POINT : The Royal Oak Pub, Sparth Rd

All walks end with refreshments (at a small charge) if you like. Walks cover various areas including most of the canal, the old railway line (Rishton, Great Harwood, Clayton-Le-Moors, Church, Baxenden), Tottleowrth, woodlands, Dunkenhalgh Park, Foxhill Bank, Bury Meadows, Jackhouse Pens, Oak Hill Park, Rhyddings Park, Jubilee Walk, Ladybird Trail, to name but a few.

All walks are FRRE, just simply turn up at the start point and speak to one of the walk leaders.

INDEPENDENT WALKING PACKS:
If you prefer walking on your own we have independent walking maps available which contain a number of short self-guided, interconnecting walks around Rishton, Clayton-Le-Moors and Church. Other area of Hyndburn will be developed in the future.

If you want to get hold of a pack or would like more information on any of the walks, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

Hope this helps and maybe see you on one of the walks soon.
