Wonderful Summer Walks

The Shoulder of Mutton is an ideal start (or end) point for some amazing moorland walks. Holcombe village is dotted with footpath signs so just pick one and start exploring. Here are a couple of examples . . .

Lancashire Life has an excellent circular walk from Holcombe to Helmshore via Pilgrims Cross, ending back at the pub. You'll be hungry when you've finished so time it right. more>

If you are paying a visit to the East Lancs Railway take a look at their Rail Ale Trail. From Ramsbottom you can walk up the Rake to The Shoulder of Mutton. If you can manage that you'll deserve to treat yourself. And it's all downhill on the way back. Rail Ale Trail>
