A Walk at Slaidburn 2012

Walk Leader: Stuart Smith and Tony McDonald
Total Distance: 11 miles
Total Ascent/Descent: 1800ft app




This walk is of particular interest to me because my mother and father bought a small farm in Bashall Eaves when newly married in 1955 which is only a short distance away from Slaidburn and they always had fond memories of living there.
We start the walk off from Newton which was formerly known as Newton on Hodder walking through undulating fields which have no visible path to follow. We travel North past Crawshaw before turning West past Beatrix. Once across the river we head North following the river through the forest and on to Whitendale before finally turning east past Dunsop Fell and Wood House ultimately arriving at Slaidburn.
