Darwen Tower

This is such lovely walk, that my cocker LOVES! Views from the top can stretch as far afield as the Isle of Man, North Wales and Derbyshire! Use the car park near the Royal Arms just outside the village of Tockholes. Follow the Woods and Water Trail, then the Witton Weavers’ Way towards Earnsdale Reservoir. Cross the damn and bear left, following the trail above a house before heading right onto a concrete track. Take the left-hand fork before climbing to the summit and the magnificent vistas. To complete the circular route, follow the path from the top towards Sunnyhurst Hey Reservoir and turn left before the second stile, then cross the stream and use the track to the left of the houses to take you back to the car park. The Royal Arms Pub is also dog friendly, so a great stop for lunch!
