Fell & River (13 Miles)


Ready for a Tolkien Trail challenge? This is one of the most dramatic walks in Lancashire taking you high up onto the fells above Hurst Green and then down along picturesque walks following the River Ribble, Calder and Hodder.

Bring good walking boots, thermos flask and snack to keep you fuelled along the way. There are many wonderful places you can picnic and take in the magnificent views overlooking Pendle Hill and beyond.

If this is your first visit we recommend using the GPS map (above) to help you navigate the right way, and not put a few extra miles onto an already long walk. Choose a good day as it can be pretty wild on the fells ... but there's no such thing as bad weather is there? ... just the wrong clothes!

Have fun.
