on in the same direction. Follow the path for almost
a mile, navigating Black Clough gorge on the way,
through a stone gateway and following the path on
the right-hand perimeter of a field which eventually
curves left and runs parallel to the A671.
Once you get onto the road from the field, turn
right, cross over and then walk ¼ of a mile and at
the T-junction, turn left to Rawtenstall and then
immediate right into Crown Point Road. Follow this
road for 230 yards and then take a left turn into a
short road by the Dunnockshaw Community Wood
sign.
Once you’ve walked about 25 yards of the short road,
hop over the stile on the right and continue through
the well-maintained woodlands for ¾ of a mile until
you reach the car park from where you started the
walk.
