From the car park we make our way across the park, past the lily pond to the foot of Billinge Hill. We follow a winding path up through the woods to the top, before emerging into a field to pass Wainwright Memorial Stone.
Here we have wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. We then descend via The Witton Weavers Way to Hoghton Bottoms to walk on the flat for a while before gradually climbing Throstle Nest Brow to Pleasington. We skirt round the cemetery to cross Witton Park and back to the car park.
