The next section is probably the most spectacular in many ways, as it follows the beautiful valley of the River Hodder. It’s another longish day of 11.2 miles – but with more ascent than the previous section.
Initially we follow the river to the village of Newton and then across fields to join a bridleway taking us past the Victorian splendour of Knowlmere Manor to Dunsop Bridge – famous as the geographical centre of the United Kingdom.
From Dunsop Bridge, we again follow the Hodder, leaving it at Burholme Bridge to ascend amid splendid views of the Bowland Fells before walking among the foothills of the higher fells then descending to the thriving village of Chipping – famous for its annual Stream Fair and Agricultural Show.
