Join us for a lovely walk through Bamford, over the stepping stones at Bamford Mill and up to Bamford Edge. Depending on time for people making it back for the return train, there is an option for a pub stop before heading back home.

This walk can be quite muddy, especially if it has been raining so be sure to dress appropriately and of course bring your own lunch. If the weather is good enough, we can enjoy our lunch up on Bamford Edge.
