You can get to Higherford from Gisburn, or from Colne or Nelson – its easy to get to off the M65. From Nelson go past Nelson & Colne College and over the bridge through Barrowford. At the George and Dragon (Toll House on the other side of the road) turn right over the bridge and turn immediately left and park in the Heritage Centre Car Park (have a meal or drink in the Heritage Centre when you come back).

Wycollar, made famous by the ruins of Wycollar Hall and a link with Charlotte Bronte, is a wonderful place to start a walk. You can reach Wycollar from Colne – take the road to Laneshaw Bridge and turn right and then left at Winewall

The Leeds and Liverpool canal has some interesting stretches, and the walk through Burnley town and back is a gentle and pleasant afternoon’s walk. Park your car at Barden Mill car park (get back before it closes and have excellent refreshments in the Tea Rooms – and buy some bargains – a well –rounded afternoon).

Hiking is a recreational experience. As such, hikers expect it to be pleasant. Sometimes hikers can interfere with each others' enjoyment, or the enjoyment of other users of the land. Such interference can be minimized by hikers who follow good etiquette.

Hikers often seek beautiful environments in which to hike. Ironically, these environments are often fragile: hikers may accidentally destroy the environment that they enjoy.

My local hill, Pendle Hill is famous for its connection with the Pendle Witches. This wonderful whale-shaped hill is a major landmark, and though only 1800 ft or so high, offers some brisk uphill walking
