River Walk (5 Miles)


A delightful walk following the River Ribble. This easy walk takes you past many beautiful features including where the River Calder and Hodder both join the River Ribble. You may be lucky and spot salmon jumping out of the water at Jumbles Rocks, or even a heron fishing in the shallows.

If you prefer not to walk along the main road footpath (back to Hurst Green) we recommend you turn around and walk back in the opposite direction after you reach Winckly Hall Farm (piggeries).

Start/End Shireburn Arms Car Park, Hurst Green
(5.3 miles | 1½ hours)
