Barrowford - Blacko Foot - Bank End - Brown Hill - Black Moss Reservoirs - Barley - Thorney Holme - Lower Fulshaw - Barrowford

Starting from the Pendle Heritage Centre in Barrowford, the walk starts off along the first part of the Pendle Way as you follow Pendle Water upstream and head up to Bank End Farm, where you leave the Pendle Way to make your way towards Brown Hill. This climb is followed by a gentler section past the Black Moss Reservoirs to the village of Barley, a pleasant rural settlement popular with walkers and the opportunity to indulge in a pint or cream tea if you're feeling thirsty or peckish. You rejoin the Pendle Way here to continue past an old mill and picturesque mill cottages as you follow another riverside section of the route past White Hough and Thorney Holme, before heading back over to Barrowford and the option of a look round the heritage centre and a snack or meal before departing.

Did this walk today. Its a wonderful very pleasant walk. The views are great even though there is not a big climb involved. The description is excellent, and we did not put a foot wrong. As the writer states the small gap in the wall at point 37 is very easy to miss, luckily we didn't.

We did this walk yesterday (08.01.18) and it was a very good walk with a fine variety of terrain. The only trouble that we had was ice on some parts of the (short) road sections.
