I visited on a sunny day, it was warm at the bottom and very windy at the very top. The route was quite easy.

Hike from Sunnyhurst pub, take in Darwen Tower then drop down to The Royal and back through the field for a nice circular route. Great on a lovely day and the pub does food if you want an afternoon snack or meal

A beautiful woodland with old trees. As it is on the Witton Weaver's long distance path; it is incredibly well maintained. And provides some welcome shade on a hot summer's day. The colors in autumn are striking and in winter; as the trees are quite old; their shape is intricate and beautiful.

September 19, 2024, Calf Hey Reservoir Loop

There isn't a shoreside path around Calf Hey Reservoir, so you need to link up the slightly higher footpaths to walk a loop. The views from the elevated position are great, both of this reservoir and of Ogden Reservoir down the valley. Calf Hey was built in 1860, the first of the three reservoirs that now fill this valley.
