Overview

An enchanting 7.5-mile circular walk along the bank of the Ribble to Lower and Great Mitton, returning along the bank of the Hodder, through historical areas of Lancashire (and Yorkshire!).

A relatively-flat walk on a mixture of roads, tracks, footpaths and fields – but it is likely to be muddy in parts!
