Overview

BOOKING REQUESTED

Starting from opposite the station we ascend up to Todbrook reservoir through Horwich End and Taxal to Crow Hill on tracks. Then over Taxal Edge and down to Kettelshume. Then on to Whaley Moor past the dipping stones and down to Whaley Bridge.  Risk assessment: Crossing roads in Whaley Bridge but mainly tracks, farm fields, and a few stiles.
