The Burnley Way

The Burnley Way is a 40-mile adventure from industrial heritage, along waterways, through fields, parks, old farms, and Forest of Burnley woodlands to the wild South Pennine Moors. The landscape, history and wildlife are all varied and fascinating.

Created 15 years ago by the Civic Trust and Burnley Council's Planning and Environment team, the route has recently updated and revised into six easy sections, each with parking and public transport near to the start and finish.

Walks one and six are mostly through gentle fields and woods, although, despite improvements, some sections are boggy, particularly after wet weather. The other walks traverse high moorland routes where the terrain and weather can be severe, even in Summer.
