Description
Book SynopsisThis walking guide contains 20 circular routes, covering the very best of Lancashire's wide-ranging landscape - from high in the Lancashire hills down to glorious forest and wildlife-rich moorland; through historical towns and villages and along meandering waterways.

Highlights include: Spring: Far-reaching views from Harrock Hill and a carpet of bluebells in the woodlands of the Read Hall estate. Summer: Moorland tracks near the lost settlement of Gambleside and boat watching along the Lancaster Canal. Autumn: Exploring Pendle witch country near Barrowford and woodland colours around Hurst Green. Winter - Christmas decorations adorning the shoreline of Entwistle Reservoir and the winter wildlife around Marton Mere.
