    Super views, lovely walk. After a visit to Smithills Hall last summer, and a short walk from there, I've had the map out and been looking for longer walks from there. After seeing your film, I think it's only a matter of time before we start exploring more of the area up into the hills. The view from the lone bench was something to behold; I don't think I have ever seen a better-placed bench anywhere.

      Hi Michael, we did a walk to Barrow Bridge last year, but the route to the 63 steps had been closed for repairs, so I made a note to go back. I also walked the West Pennine Way so am familiar with areas further north, but there is more around Walker Fold Woods that look interesting. I have no doubt you will plot an interesting route. Just looking through my ever increasing "to do" list for the next walk.

    Beautiful melodic piano music for your film Steve. I don't think I've heard of Barrow Bridge although have been to Smithills Estate. Excellent filming shots of the landscape areas. Much enjoyed watching. Nice to see you both out.

      Hi Shanita, it turned out to be an interesting walk (you never know do you), and just 20mins drive to get there. In the summer I think there are two vans at the car park, one serving food, so a return is on the cards.

    That looks a nice walk and love the history too.

      Hi, Smithills Hall is well worth a visit, and unusually its free entry. Thanks for watching.

    Steve, having enjoyed your film of Barrow Bridge, yesterday we got round to doing a walk from there. We went on as far as Two Lads and a splendid view over Lancashire and beyond (having spoken to someone on the way who recommended the view), and then returned along Burnt Edge. I think we might be doing more in that area in the future.

      Shanita filmed us, so in due course I'm sure it will appear.@@lancsway
