Darwen Tower with Dorothy Dobson
6 Miles / 9.7km with ft / m Total Ascent
Meet at Tockholes Information Centre (Sat Nav: BB3 OPA ), ready for the usual start time 10:30am.
From the car park we pass the cottages and begin to climb the winding path to the Tower. We may have good views of the surrounding hills as we near the top. We descend to Sunnyhurst Wood and have lunch here as there are plenty of seats. Turning south east we pass Earnsdale Reservoir and Higher Westhead Farm before retracing our steps to the centre.
