I’m leading you on a circular stroll from Lomas Lane over Horncliffe Heights down to Edenfield and back, stopping to take in all the views. Of all my series to date this is the one I would recommend to photographers…….so many photo opportunities en-route.
The series has mainly good paths but there are a couple of steep off-path ascents to gain the magnificent views.
Near to farms a degree of Muggle awareness is needed but otherwise take your time and enjoy :)
Coming back down into Rawtenstall take in the views over the valley and motorway and keep an eye out for steam trains puffing up and down the East Lancashire Railway. I was fortunate laying these caches to be on hand as the Flying Scotsman in its original green livery steamed down the line…. A magnificent sight.
