12 SELF-GUIDED WALKS ALONG THE BENTHAM LINE
The walks combine into a 68 mile linear walk from station to station
The Bentham Line provides access to spectacular scenery, so why not combine a trip on the line with a self-guided walk in the surrounding Lancashire and Yorkshire countryside.
The walks, a number of which follow ancient paths, offer the opportunity to explore the Lune, Wenning, Ribble and Aire valleys and pass through many villages each with their own unique charm and character.
The programme of walks has been designed to appeal both to the experienced walker and to the leisure walker who enjoys a varied but not too demanding walk. The easier walks may be attempted by families with children.
About the walks
The timing for each of the walks is based on a ‘look around and enjoy pace’ and allows for a break of 30 minutes. All walks end where there are refreshment facilities available. It is possible to combine many of the neighbouring routes to make a longer day walk. Take plenty to drink with you. Waterproofs and spare warm clothing are recommended, as are walking boots.
