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.

A lovely beginners walk for children – I was taken by a neighbour of my aunt’s when she lived in Marton, near Middlesborough. You can’t miss Roseberry Topping –it’s the only hill in the area, rising like a little pimple from the flat land around it. Its not very high, but is enough challenge for young children or those out of condition folks that want to build up their stamina.
