We are the Bolton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walks using public transport. Note Northern Rail are not on strike, they are on an overtime ban only which may affect very early and late trains. There have been no cancellations today (Monday 3 July) and none shown for tomorrow. As always check before you travel.
We start our walk at Whalley Train Station, where we meet those traveling on the 10.04 am train from Bolton.
After a brief comfort stop in Whalley we start our walk to Clitheroe. We walk past the Abbey and the English Martyrs church and head towards the river Calder and the old Roman Road before finishing the walk at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe.
After lunch, at Holmes Mill walkers can then join a second part of the walk to Clitheroe Castle viewpoint and either then leave the walk close to the Railway/bus station or continue on a circular route that takes in riverside views along the river Ribble (additional 3 miles).
There is a regular train service back to Bolton from Clitheroe. It is intended to finish the walk at Clitheroe Train Station in time for the 16.30 train back to Bolton. Those travelling from Bolton will need to purchase a return ticket to |Clitheroe (£8.40 or £6.70 with GM pass))
Both walks are level
Walks using public transport.
Please note this walk was originally planned from Langho Station but due to an unsafe bridge on the route, with no viable alternative, we are now walking from Whalley Station
Meet at Whalley train station at 1055am
