Circular Walk from Hurst Green to Longridge Fell

One of my favourite places to go walking is around the village of Hurst Green in the Ribble Valley.

Hurst Green is a small village in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, connected in its history to the Jesuit school, Stonyhurst College. The village is a 20 minute drive from Longridge and a 15 minute drive away from Clitheroe, and is close to the River Ribble, near its junction with the River Hodder.


Here are a selection of photographs taken on a circular walk starting at Hurst Green up to Longridge Fell and back via the River Hodder.

I AM BACK

Its been a while since I started my blog. It never really got off the ground with me being so busy with other projects. Now I am reviewing and starting to use my blog as I fully intended to when I started some years back, as a diary for the images taken on my travels around Lancashire. There will be some postings of images from elsewhere on my travels too.

Starting with this image taken recently on a walk in the Wigan area.

Many more to follow and some historical items to post too from walks that I never got to post.

Please bear with me whilst I find my way and hopefully people will get as much enjoyment from viewing my images I have had taking them.

Many Thanks and Kind regards
