Clowbridge Reservoir
Enjoy a circular walk around this pretty reservoir near Burnley. There are good footpaths taking you through the countryside and woodland which surround the reservoir. You can park at the southern end of the water and pick up the path which leads up into the lovely countryside above Clowbridge. The path then takes you to the woodland of Greenhill Clough before returning to the car park by following the track on the west side of the water. On the way there are fine views toPendle Hill, Stony Hill, Nutshaw and Burnt Hill.
You can extend your walk by picking up the Rossendale Way or the Burnley Way which run past the reservoir.

Moorland Gully above Clowbridge Reservoir, Lancashire. The moorland here is mainly covered in grass and features occasional areas of tussocks. The relatively smooth lines of the hillsides are marked by occasional gullies, such as the one shown here. On this particular day, the gully was being used as the location of the start for an orienteering race. View taken looking SE, away from the reservoir.
