We did it "backwards" which meant we started in the wilderness and slowly made our way to civilisation and a pint at the Dolphin. Really enjoyed it but it's not for you if you like hills and solitude as the closer you get to Preston, the more people you'll see. It's mostly relatively flat too given that it follows the river a lot.

An interesting trail, I enjoyed the places associated with the Brontë sisters along the trail. Some of the pathways needed some maintenance toward the end of the trail and watch out for the cows! Some very pretty scenery along the route though! For a full video of this trail… check out my YouTube channel - Drunk On Wanderlust
