Help connect Foulridge
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Foulridge’s Slow Ways.

The route continued with a section of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, including a visit to the southwestern portal of Foulridge Tunnel. The northeastern portal of Foulridge Tunnel is only a short walk from the end point of this route....

The route passes within 50m of my house and I have walked this route many times. You walk along part of the East Colne Way which is one of the most popular walks in Pendle! Good mixture of public footpaths and pavements....
