  • Moel y Gamelin

Moel y Gamelin walk

Park at Ponderosa Cafe, cross the road and head straight up the hill, with the old mines to your right.  You soon reach Moel y Faen / Llantyslillo Mountain.  On a clear day you can see Liverpool (and the Irish Sea) and Snowdonia.

Continue along the path which drops a little before climbing up to Moel y Gamelin.  The path then drops steeply and you’ll turn left at the bottom.

After a short while the route takes a poorly marked path to the left.  The OS map markings didn’t seem to match the ground here and I ended up stuck on a fairly steep hill, having to shimmy down on my bum, so be careful.

The route climbed back out of this valley and back to a well marked section near the road, Horseshoe Pass.  After a short walk on the quarry track I made my way back to Ponerosa cafe along the road.

The road to Clitheroe from Sabden, known as 'Nick The road to Clitheroe from Sabden, known as 'Nick of Pendle' is a popular route for cycling and at 300m it is also a good place to park and walk up to Pendle Hill.
Also, the food at Wellsprings Inn is excellent.
