From
Burholme Bridge walk along the farm track to Burholme Farm. In
the farm yard turn left, go over the footbridge and carry straight
on across the meadows to meet the Hodder. At Thorneyholme Hall
turn left over the footbridge and then immediately right. Head
straight across the meadow to the footbridge at the wood side.
The path now follows closely to the Hodder bank and emerges at
the road at Boarsden. Continue along the road for 400 yd to find
the start of the footpath on the right. The path is well waymarked
over a series of stiles and leads to a high footbridge over the
Hodder. (70 min)
After
the bridge bear slightly left; a farm track is found after two
stiles. Turn left to meet the main road at Foulscales. Again
turn left at the road, walk by the farmhouse and look for the
start of the footpath in the hedge on the left. Bear right uphill
across the field and then after the gate bear left and walk downhill
to the Hodder. Follow the Hodder to Newton. (40 min)
Take
the road at the back of the Parkers Arms signposted Dunsop Bridge.
The footpath starts at a ladder stile on the left just before
Fober Farm. Bear right; the next stile is seen the short distance
across the meadow. Carry straight on over the fields and stiles
to meet he footbridge over the Hodder once again. (35 min)
After
the footbridge bear right across the field to the stile leading
on to the farm track. Turn right to Giddy Bridge. Immediately
after the bridge bear left uphill through the large chestnut
trees. On a bearing of 240 continue over the fields and stiles
until the fell proper is met with at the stone wall. A steady
walk uphill along the grassy track now ensues to a stone waymarker
seen in the distance. Three similar stones are encountered before
the path starts a gentle descent along Fielding Clough. After
crossing a ladder stile follow the wire fence on the right down
to Burholme Farm. Cross the footbridge into the farmyard and
carry on to Burholme Bridge. (50 min)
