April in the Yarrow valley
Ten ramblers met for a 10 mile circular walk near Chorley today. Almost perfect walking weather saw temperatures rise to 17C with blue skies and dry underfoot conditions.
We started in the Yarrow Valley Country Park and took in Astley Hall , the Leeds Liverpool canal and woodlands before our return to the park for a welcome cup of tea.
The Birkacre Park dates back to the 1300s and has a wealth of industrial history based around textiles, coal, steel and innovation.
Astley Hall is a lovely estate dating back to the 16th century. The house, gardens, cafe and shop have recently been upgraded and are well worth a visit.
Thanks to Carmel and Paul for a good day out.

We walked in the shadow of the City Walls for a while, passing the locks, before Continue reading
