161 Sunday 19th February 2023 Whittle-le-Woods
This was my choice , a six mile circular walk not too far away. The walk started off from Whittle-le-Woods and we had a little difficulty identifying the starting point from the leaflet
we were using. Eventually we matched things up and identified the Duke of York canal basin.
The first part of the route passed a community garden.
There was then a short section through a wood passing an old lime kiln.
We then crossed over the M6.
This was the view towards Preston.
We soon saw the Leeds-Liverpool Canal ahead.
We joined the towpath for the walk to Johnson's Hillock.
We watched a barge negotiate one of the locks. Simon helped open the gates.
At the canal junction we took the Walton Summit branch.
