Overview

This is a circular walk taking in the Pennine Way (PW). It is a moderate walk as it includes a long arduous incline (1.5 mile) up to the PW (susceptible to dramatic weather changes, pack appropriately). The walk offers extensive views of the Pennine areas as we visit the Trig point, the Aiggin Stone and walk in the footsteps of Medieval travellers.
