This may be a relatively short section with a deceptively gentle start across rolling farmland, but it soon ramps up on the ascent of Jeffrey Hill which – although steep – offers excellent views back across the Hodder Valley.
We skirt around the edges of Longridge Fell to follow an attractive and easy descent to Hurst Green, which there are numerous refreshment options and the option of a detour to admire the spectacular façade of internationally renowned public school of Stonyhurst College, where Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien wrote part of his Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
