Hollinsclough Walk 3

Walk distance
4 miles
Time
2 hours
Route type
Circular

From here on in, the walks here get serious and this third option is our shortest route that takes you over the top of the majestic Chrome Hill.

The climb to the top of the hill itself is quite a tough one, but you'll be rewarded with some wonderful views as you walk along the ridge. It doesn't stop there either with lots of ascents and descents as you walk around this wonderful loop.

As with all significant hill walks, please ensure you have suitable clothing and refreshments for this adventure and always use your common sense when following the trails as phone GPS can sometimes be inaccurate.

Hollinsclough Walk 4

Walk distance
4½ miles
Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This fourth option is basically a simple extension to the third route option that still enjoys the majestic Chrome Hill and the outstanding scenery around the village.

The main reason to select this route over the third route, is if you have a little bit more time.

As with the third route, it is a strenuous walk over big and steep hills, so please ensure you have suitable clothing and refreshments for this adventure.

Additionally, always use your common sense when following the trails as phone GPS can sometimes be inaccurate.
