Other walks in the area

Walking Dunsop Bridge and Totridge Fell

Association or club
↔15.78 km ↗+461 m ↘-470 m ◔5h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Bowland Forest Low (Lancashire)

Without the optional ascent of Totridge this is a fairly long but mostly undemanding walk, apart from a moderate climb to the shoulder of Mellor Knoll. The fellside climb to Totridge is steep and the trig point is on high peat moorland (avoid in poor visibility), but the reward for the effort on a clear day is an exceptional view that includes Pendle Hill and the tops of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. The stepping stones may become impassable after heavy rain.

Walking Fair Oak and Long Knots

Association or club
↔6.70 km ↗+130 m ↘-131 m ◔2h 15 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Bowland Forest Low (Lancashire)

A pleasant stroll with superb views down the Hodder valley and a gentle pastoral return via a series of farms. One steep climb and descent above the stepping stones. Field paths may be muddy after rain and the stepping stones may be impassable when the river is in spate.

Walking Stepping stones and Burholme Bridge

Association or club
↔3.28 km ↗+46 m ↘-44 m ◔1h 05 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Bowland Forest Low (Lancashire)

An easy stroll across the River Hodder via the stepping stones, returning via Burholme Bridge. One steep climb and some road walking. Field paths may be soft and muddy after rain and the stepping stones may be impassable when the river is in spate.

Walking Birkett Fell

Association or club
↔9.61 km ↗+240 m ↘-231 m ◔3h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Bowland Forest Low (Lancashire)

A somewhat wilder walk over Birkett Fell, rewarded with wide views over the Hodder valley and encounters with some intriguing limestone features. There are two moderate climbs; the moorland can be bleak in poor weather and paths may be indistinct and boggy in places.

Walking A Hodder Trod

Association or club
↔9.23 km ↗+135 m ↘-142 m ◔3h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Bowland Forest Low (Lancashire)

A scenic walk along both sides of the Hodder valley; the river is crossed via two sets of stepping stones. Those at Stakes at the southern end are rather uneven and at the time of writing in 2015 one was dislodged, necessitating a nimble hop of about a yard; both sets may be impassable when the river is high (diversions are available). Field paths may be muddy.
