Overview

From Whins Lane meet up we cross the canal and fields passing Denham Hall, North Bank and Wilson Nook Farms to Town Lane. We make our way to Whittle Springs where the canals split up by Johnson's Hillock. We then make our way by South Hill to the memorial clock in Wheelton centre before crossing the bypass to pick up the path off Briers Brow which leads us back to Whins Lane.
