Overview

Starting from the lay-by's on the A6 near to the canal we pass through Chorley Golf Course before crossing the fields to Limbrick. We then cross the canal to Red Bank before entering Duxbury Woods, following the River Yarrow to Coppull Hall Wood. We then cross Wigan Road to follow the bridleway to Rawlinson Lane and the canal back to the start.
