The East Colne Way is a circular walk through the green lungs of East Colne.

Our walk starts from the car park near the Lakeside Café at the Ball Grove nature reserve.

Along the route of the East Colne Way you should see stunning views of the local area. 

The walk leaves the East Colne Way part way round to get a closer look at some of the local reservoirs.

Returning to the East Colne Way at Foulridge Upper Reservoir, the walk goes through green open spaces like The Rough and Lidgett Triangle.

Throughout the walk you will also see aspects of East Colne’s historic past, including alms houses and weavers cottages.

At the end of the walk there should be opportunity to relax and enjoy refreshments at the Lakeside Café.
