| Comments: | We visited a Panoptican before heading towards Dove Stones Moor on the Bronte Way/Pendle Way. After refreshments we turned south-west along the Bronte Way and continued on to Lumb Spout waterfall for lunch. Returning to the Bronte Way we soon left it to reach Antley Gate and descend to Alder Hurst Head. Passing through someone's front garden we reached a road where a former mill was being replaced by a large apartment block. Following the track towards Wanless we eventually ascended to Little Laithe and Raven Rock Farm. After taking a path down the side of a wood we descended to Wycoller where a nice cup of tea was waiting for us at the cafe. | ||
