Holcombe Moor


 

 

Walk Leader: Lynn Rossiney

Number on the walk: 15

Distance: 10 miles

Weather: Misty with sleet & drizzle which cleared through day

 

 

We set of from Crowthorn village to follow the path which runs over towards Ramsbottom under Peel Tower, unfortunately no views because of the mist. Towards Ramsbottom we followed the cobbled path down to the Hare & Hounds PH and through Redisher Woods leading to Holcombe Training  Centre where the Krypton factor was filmed years ago, here we had lunch

Onwards did a bit of road walking to avoid a really muddy field then up Hawkshaw Lane passing Roger Worthington's grave whom John Crooke pointed out was a local Baptist Minister who died in 1709

A rather muddy path lead us to Plantation Road and back to Crowthorn.

 

Thanks to everyone for coming along and to Ian for taking the photos which can be seen 'here'
