This is a relatively easy walk over pasture land in Chipping Vale. Long distance views to be had are Wolf Fell and Parlick to the north and Longridge Fell to the south. After The Gibbon Bridge Hotel the path follows the lovely River Loud to Loud Mytham. Thereafter a pleasant stroll through fields leads the walker back to Chipping where two hostelries can be found: Tillotsons Arms , and the Sun Inn
