Overview

This is a moderate/strenuous walk as there are two long climbs but the views are worth it!  We are walking from Marl Pits Leisure Centre up a hill then along and down into Crawshawbooth.  We then climb the other side and walk along that side of the valley to the Halo panopticon and then back at a lower level to Rawtenstall finally walking through the cemetery and back to the leisure centre.
