We will basically follow paths mainly crossing fields to eventually reach Black Moss reservoirs. Passing the reservoirs we drop down into Barley. All being well we will stop for lunch there, the cafe should be open for drinks etc.
We will then head for White Hough Farm to enter the woods taking us to the road to drop down to Roughlee. We then cross the stepping stones over Pendle Water and start the only real ascent of the walk, on reaching the top it is all downhill back to Barrowford. See red pin on map below.
