SOLD OUT – Lost Farms of Brinscall Moor guided walk

SOLD OUT – Sorry for any disappointment. Please let us know if you would like to go on a waiting list – if there is enough interest we can add a second date later in August.

This is the first of two guided walks funded by Historic England as part of the Lost Farms of Brinscall Moors community history project. The first walk will cover the north end of Brinscall Moor and include the ruins of Ratten Clough, Solomon’s temple and Botany Bay.

Starting from the swimming pool car park in Brinscall we will head up Well Lane and on to the moor. It is a circular route so you will end up where you started but you are able to leave the walk at any point if you wish to do a shorter (or longer!) route or would rather finish in Abbey Village. Our planned route is 4km or just under 3 miles so we have allowed 2.5 hours with stops at each of the ruins we pass on the way.

The walk is aimed at adults and the route includes some steep hills and uneven ground so please come suitably shod (walking boots) and dressed for the weather.

There will be a Lost Farms living history event on the 15th July aimed at families with young children with a shorter route and more activities so please book on the event that is most suitable for you. There is also a second guided walk for adults covering the southern half of the moors on the 22nd July.

Only 20 places are available. £4pp. This includes refreshments (a brew and a slice of cake) when we stop for a break at Botany Bay farm ruin. This is a funded event so the £4 is a returnable deposit to secure your place. This can be returned to you on request but if you chose to donate it, all the money will go towards subsidising future community events and walks. Thank you 🙂
