SD7716 : Quarry and clough

taken 10 years ago, near to Ramsbottom, Bury, England

Quarry and clough
Quarry and clough
The clough dividing the hills of Holcombe and Harcles being too boggy for this particular walker, I was directed by a kind local to an alternative route to the base of Harcles via this long-disused quarry, located where the path from the Peel Monument turns into Moor Road on its way down into the village. The stream still requires a little negotiation but I found it to be much less worrisome than the stretch further up and there is at least that wall to cling to!
