April in the Yarrow valley

Ten ramblers met for a 10 mile circular walk near Chorley today.  Almost perfect walking weather saw temperatures rise to 17C with blue skies and dry underfoot conditions.

We started in the Yarrow Valley Country Park  and took in Astley Hall , the Leeds Liverpool canal and woodlands before our return to the park for a welcome cup of tea.

The Birkacre Park dates back to the 1300s and has a wealth of industrial history based around textiles, coal, steel and innovation.

Astley Hall is a lovely estate dating back to the 16th century. The house, gardens, cafe and shop have recently been upgraded and are  well worth a visit.

Thanks to Carmel and Paul for a good day out.

The new membership year commenced on the lst April and you do need to be a member to participate in any activities  There are implications for insurance etc if you are not a member. Many thanks.
