August 11, 2021,Great Hill from Anglezarke - lovely morning stroll!

My favorite area of the West Pennine Moors. Expect bog even after dry weather - its what gives these Moors character. Great Hill is a nice hill with amazing views over winter hill and Rivington, and Darwen Tower. You really get a good view of Lancashire here.
