B Walk - A walk through history around Dinckley with Dorothy Dobson
7½miles (12km) with little climbing.
Meet: From A59 crossroads (traffic lights) turn left towards Ribchester on B6245, the Car park (no post code) is on the left almost at bottom of hill, ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.
During this walk we pass three beautiful Elizabethan Manor Houses.
We head up the road to go in fields to Bolton Hall then to Park Gate to reach A59. After 100 yards we turn north west through fields to Dinckley Grange. Here we do a stint of road walking down country lanes to reach Aspinalls, where we head north to take a path towards Dinckley Hall. We reach a wooded path by the River Ribble and continue along it for about a mile all the way to Salesbury Hall. From here it is once more road walking to Ribchester Bridge and pass the last Manor House, New Hall, before reaching the car park.
