Other walks in the area

Walking Abbeystead - Tarnbrook - Big hill

⚑Departure from Over Wyresdale (Lancashire)
A walk of two halves, first half mainly uphill, second half mainly down-hill. Surface all gravel path or tarmac road so easy to follow and walk on. Note. I have since been told that there are two stiles on this route which are difficult to get over so please take this into account if you have any mobility problems, I personally didn't notice the issue at the time of the walk although I was able bodied at the time. Unfortunately due to an accident since I've not been able to return to this walk and it is possible that the stiles have deteriorated since.

Walking Hazelhurst Fell, Fair Snape Fell and Parlick

Visorando Member
↔11.02 mi ↗+1,578 ft ↘-1,565 ft ◔6h 25 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Claughton (Lancashire)
Ths Forest of Bowland offers some of the finest walking in Lancashire. However some of the moorland sections can be quite boggy after rain. A good sense of direction is required certainly during the first section of this walk. Refreshments are not available during this walk so make sure you take food and water.

Walking Bankhouses from Glasson via the Lancashire Coastal Way

Visorando Member
↔7.15 mi ↗+121 ft ↘-112 ft ◔3h 25 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Thurnham (Lancashire)
A Lancashire Walk that explores the Lune Estuary and coast to the west of Lancaster. This Lancashire walk starts from Glasson Dock which at one time had high hopes as being a port serving Lancaster. The route follows a section of the Lancashire Coastal Way with the opportunity to visit the ruins of Cockersand Abbey before continuing along the coast. The final section uses rural inland footpaths to return to the start.

Walking Dunsop Bridge and Totridge Fell

Association / Club / Walk leader
↔9.81 mi ↗+1,555 ft ↘-1,555 ft ◔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 / Club / Walk leader
↔4.17 mi ↗+469 ft ↘-469 ft ◔2h 20 ▲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 / Club / Walk leader
↔2.04 mi ↗+157 ft ↘-148 ft ◔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 A Hodder Trod

Association / Club / Walk leader
↔5.74 mi ↗+495 ft ↘-495 ft ◔3h 05 ▲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.

Walking Birkett Fell

Association / Club / Walk leader
↔5.97 mi ↗+794 ft ↘-791 ft ◔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.
