Route

(The walk starts from the free car park in Newton by Bowland (200 metres towards Slaidburn from Newton), near postcode BB7 3EA, map reference SD698506.

From Newton, the walk sets off across the fields to eventually reach Croasdale House. More fields to regain the road at Hawkers, and then over Merrybent Hill. The Hodder is crossed over the tall footbridge near New House, and then descends towards Stocks reservoir, where the lunch stop is in the picnic area. After lunch the path round the east side of the reservoir is followed until the overflow and dam is reached. The field paths then lead past Hammerton Hall back to Slaidburn. The route then follows the paths alongside the Hodder to return to Newton)
