Just outside of the ancient village of Tockholes on the Western edge of Darwen Moor, this Victorian wood is a real gem and a favourite with dog walkers.
A mixture of stony bridleway, steep slopes and often muddy paths, the circuit criss-crosses over the River Roddlesworth featuring waterfalls stone and wooden bridges and two huge reservoirs.
Our Huskies are very at home here in the wood and love a good splash in the stream any chance they get.
This is a 4 mile round trip, with a great pub restaurant The Royal Arms as well as the Ramblers Country Café at the start/finish. It can be quite challenging dependant on the weather, and as always, the right footwear and clothing will be essential.
