Overview

A 10 mile moderate walk from Ramsbottom.  The walk takes us through the Stubbins estate and Buckden woods onto Bull hill where, on a clear day, we will get impressive views of 4 National Parks.  We continue to Quarlton Heights and hopefully safely navigate through the MOD firing range. We will check in at Peel Tower and descend to Ramsbottom and return to the car park. 
Refreshments available in the Irwell Works brewery tap.
