Lowdham Church and Lambley, 18th August 2024

Starting in the church car park in Lowdham, Howard took us on a 9.1 mile walk exploring the high ground north of the Cocker Beck on excellent tracks and field paths.  We started by walking to the original start-point on Rockleys View, the access road to the rear entrance to Lowdham Grange which we passed on the way to Ploughman Wood Nature Reserve.  We later dropped down to cross Lambley Dumble for lunch next to the school before returning to Lowdham afer some more climbing.

Thanks Bill for the photos.
