Broadbottom Circular

Overview

A four-mile walk around Broadbottom starting from the Lymefield Outdoor Learning Centre (which has replaced the visitor centre mentioned in the leaflet). Quiet lanes, a little-known wooded clough and farmland combine to make an attractive and varied walk. There are good views from the higher ground.

Accessibility and facilities

Because of the varied terrain and gradients involved, this route is not rated as being suitable for wheelchair and pushchair-users.

While there is no public toilet on the walk route, the Lymefield Garden Centre, open 7 days a week, is close by with a café and toilets for customers. There are also pubs and shops available in Broadbottom village.

How to get there

The start point named in the leaflet (the visitor centre) is now the Lymefield Arts and Crafts Centre, and is given as the main start point on this page.
