Great Hill Lancashire Walk
This circular walk climbs to Great Hill near Blackburn in Lancashire.
You can start the walk from the car park at the Tockholes Plantation just to the east of the hill. From here you can pick up footpaths heading south west up to the hill. The summit stands at a height of 383 metres, commanding fine views over the surrounding West Pennine Moors. On the way there are some surfaced stone paths, old stone walls and a ruined farmhouse to see in this remote moorland area.
To continue your walking in the area head a few miles south to Rivington Country Park where you can enjoy the popular climbs to Rivington Pike and Winter Hill.
The car park could also be used as a starting point to climb Darwen Tower which lies just to the north east.
The hill can also be climbed from Brinscall to the north west. See the video below for more details.

Pimms and Great Hill
Pimms. Ruins of an abandoned farmhouse on the slopes of Great Hill. The trees probably got established before the walls disappeared. The rest of the moor is treeless.
