About the event

Geology Walk
Join us in the Trough of Bowland for a closer look at the geology which underpins this well-known part of the National Landscape.

We may only be walking a short distance, but we'll be stepping back in time millions of years.....

We'll also get the opportunity to look amongst the old mine waste for samples of the minerals worked there in decades past - plus a chance to search for fossils in the disused quarries.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Approximately 1 ½ miles long, with a mix of tarmacked road surface and uneven, loose, slippery terrain. The tracks to the disused quarries are moderately steep.

Cost: £5
