Overview

Our choice today is to head for the surrounding hills of Wheelton and Anglezarke Moors or keep low and follow the Goit towards White Coppice. One could also use the disused railway line to Abbey Village and join the Witton Weavers Way before heading for Great Hill on the way back to Brinscall.
