Overview

This is a scenic walk along each side of the valley from Rawtenstall to Cowpe.  We set off from Marl Pits sports centre with a short road walk before we ascend to Whinberry Naze then make our way along the hill top to Cowpe.  We then descent into Waterfoot for some more road walking before a steep climb back out of the valley to enjoy fabulous views (hopefully!) while walking along the hillside before descending and making our way back to Marl Pits.
