Thornton and The Old Bell Chapel



It wasn’t too bad a day although it wasn’t a day for climbing hills and good views so the plan was to do a walk around Thornton.  I hadn’t done this walk before so that made it interesting.  I parked up in Thornton crossed the road and went down the small paved pathway – very slippy had barely got started downhill before I fell.



 It made me walk the rest of the way down the path very carefully.
The path took me across a stream and up through part of a golf course.  At the top looking back was a man in the bottom who I think was looking for a golf ball – I think he would be a long time looking.
The way was to then turn left to West Scholes – I have been here before – it’s a very pretty place just a small hamlet of really old properties.  From here I went on towards an old railway bridge (part of the Queensbury Triangle).  Going under the bridge and then left through a stile and along the valley side. 




This then led to a public road (Cockin Lane) quickly turning left onto the Bronte Way.  The way ahead then took me across a huge sloping meadow aiming towards the Church.  Eventually at the church I came out onto Bradford road to a short walk back to where I’d parked the car.  Good walk just about 4 miles.
