Overview

BOOKING REQUESTED

The Witton Weavers Way is a long distance 32 mile trail in the West Pennine Moors, Lancashire. The trail explores beautiful woodlands, remote reservoirs, hidden valleys and Lancashire’s industrial heritage. The Reeler's trail, a leisurely/moderate walk, passes Roddlesworth reservoir before a gradual climb into Tockholes Village. The route is along good field paths and country lanes before reaching a 1.5 mile section of the Leeds Liverpool canal. The path then climbs steadily across fields before heading back to Abbey.
