Cowling · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the Cowling walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
The walk Cowling is built under. A field path and Lane Ends Lane lift you out of the village onto Dick Lane, the narrow tarmac lane that runs the length of the gritstone escarpment, then you drop off it onto the open crag edge to reach Wainman's Pinnacle and follow the edge east to Lund's Tower, with the Aire valley below and Pendle away to the west. The crag top is registered access land, so a dog can be off the lane on the rough ground legally, but the moor immediately south of the crag is a different matter and is covered by a live Natural England no-dogs direction. Sheep are on the crag edge and the lane verges all year, and Dick Lane is single track with no pavement, so lead work is the rule rather than the exception.
