Stepping stones and Burholme Bridge

(S/E) From the car park behind the church, follow the signposted footpath to the stepping stones.

(1) Cross the stepping stones and walk up the field beyond, keeping close to the edge of the wood on your left. Walk through New Laund Farm, and at the restored cheese press bear right to pass Reed Barn Cottage.

(2) When you reach Little Bowland Road, turn right and walk downhill to the road junction by Burholme Bridge.

(3) Turn right across the bridge. Follow the road beyond for a further 1⁄4 mile, looking out for a signposted “concessionary path” on your right.

Take the concessionary path and turn left, following the hedge on your left, and then a fenceline.

Cross a footbridge over a sidestream and follow a narrow path alongside the wall back to the Inn at Whitewell. (S/E)

• Burholme Bridge carries the road over the River Hodder. It was built of sandstone ashlar in the late 18th century and is Grade II listed.

• The stepping stones across the Hodder add an element of mild adventure to the route, but should not be attempted when the river is high.
