Peel Tower Loop

Sunday afternoon ride out with Dan. Both of us have found ways to Peel Tower so today we could put our heads together and create a really good route with very little on road.

The route starts at the railway track on Nuttal St, then out through to Rising Bridge, drop down to Carrs industrial estate, pick up old railway track in Helmshore and through to White Horse pub. From here the bridalway is clearly marked towards Holcome moor. After reaching the tower it is a good drop back down the path and go by the sude of the church. This eventually brings us out to Ramsbottom centre which this Sunday have the farmers market which meant mince pie and hot ginger drink to warm us up. Following the road out of Ramsbottom then pick up cycle route 6 through Stubbins. This brings us out at the Railway Station at Edenfield where we pick up the tail end of the Cowpe Loop. The track takes us back to Holcome rd and the White Horse. From here it is a return from where we came
