We follow the River Dunsop along farm access tracks passing, small dams, flood barriers and onto Brennand Farm, after passing through the farm an uphill track takes us to Whitendale. The ascent, though initially steep, the gradient soon eases and the Whitendale Valley comes into view.
We then follow an old railway and pipeline track to make our return journey back to Dunsop Bridge. The walk takes in magnificent views of the Bowland Fells and is very near the centre of Britain.
