Next Walk : Saturday 12th September 2026, Barnoldswick
Our walks this month are led by Kathy and Steve. Both are from the village of Barnoldswick, Borough of Pendle, Lancashire
A walk (10 miles)
The A walk is approximately 10-miles. Starting in Barnoldswick, the route leads to Salterforth to join the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. After a scenic loop around the nearby reservoir, the path rejoins the towpath heading toward Foulridge Wharf and the historic Foulridge Tunnel. Leaving the canal behind, the trail heads uphill toward Blacko Hill, passing Malkin Tower before tackling the final climb up Weets Hill summit. A steady descent through open fields leads back down into Barnoldswick.
B walk (7.4 miles)
The B walk is approximately 7.4 miles. Leaving Barnoldswick, the route heads southwest, consistently ascending through countryside pastures toward Greystone Moor. We reach the highest point of Weets Hill summit at 1,290 ft. With good weather permitting we'll have views over the town, east Lancashire, the north Ribble Valley, north Aire Valley and the Yorkshire Dales - then we loop back northeast toward White Moor. We descend past the outskirts of Salterforth, and eventually arrive at Leeds and Liverpool Canal, where we walk along the banks to return to town.
There is a selection of pubs and cafes in the main town centre.
