This is a blog about walks and walking in England (and Wales) http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/BlogId/30/Default.aspx en-US englishwalks@fusive.co.uk Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:27:14 GMT Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:27:14 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss NewBlog RSS Generator Version 3.1.18.13028 If you’re in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival (and many people like us, go there for just a brief day or two) you may find yourself with very little time to look around Edinburgh AND go to shows as well. Here is a walk that takes in a brisk walk and takes you to some great places in a short time http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/142/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/142/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=142 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=142 Hay on Wye is an excellent place for a pleasant stroll especially when you’ve been looking at the bookshops all morning and want a change. If you go up Castle Street, just past the Wine Cellar Pub you will find a small entryway through the buildings leading down the hill. This is signposted to “The Warren – 5km” and if you walk down the hill you will find a veritable warren of paths http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/138/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/138/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=138 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=138 The various walks around the community woodland at Clowbridge Reservoir are a cornucopia of delights. Take the Rawtenstall Road out of Burnley, and just past the summit of the hill there is a left turn into a lane (Limy Lane) at Clowbridge. http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/134/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/134/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=134 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT 1 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=134 Whether you want a walk of 4-5 miles or a 2 mile stroll, you can fit them in round Ball Grove’s paths. This area is an example of inspired urban landscape reclamation. This walk is based around what was the site of one of the largest tanneries in Europe – built at the edge of the town because of the smell, no doubt, and now is just a wonderful wild-life haven. The old tannery pond is now an amazing wetland habitat and there are picnic areas and a adventure-playground type children’s play area. Good for the family. http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/131/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/131/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=131 Wed, 05 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=131 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). http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/128/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/128/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=128 Wed, 28 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=128 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 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/127/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/127/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=127 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT 1 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=127 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). http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/123/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/123/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=123 Sun, 28 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=123 Not just a nice healthy walk, but a good way to see lots of interesting places. Start from Green Park station and then go into Green Park. Take the big tarmaced path that leads towards the Mall and Buckingham Palace http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/114/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/114/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=114 Sun, 14 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT 1 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=114 This walk ambles a little up the Dales way, and along the River Wharfe. Park in the Car Park within the Bolton Abbey grounds. http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/109/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/109/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=109 Tue, 09 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=109 Not really a walk – perhaps only an hour’s stroll, but wonderful views and a stop for refreshments is good for a relaxing day out http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/104/Default.aspx englishwalks@fusive.co.uk http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Blog/tabid/2567/EntryID/104/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=2567&EntryID=104 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.englishwalks.co.uk/DesktopModules/NewBlog/Trackback.aspx?id=104
