Full Walk Details

Length of walk: 30-40 minutes   Take the pathway at the far end of the parking area and continue onto a well maintained gravel pathway. The River Lostock will be on the right hand side.  Continue as far as the 'ruins' on the right, and then bear right and cross a footbridge to head uphill through the kissing gate.  Turn round when you're ready and follow the path back to the car park.   The ruins here were a mystery - were they Roman or Victorian? Thanks to Dave Carr for letting us know that the ruins are in fact the remains of a bleaching and printing works which burned to the ground in 1914.
