🅿️Manchester Road, Clowbridge, Burnley, BB11 5PF
🌊 Watersports available
NO FACILITIES, NO TOILETS OPEN WHEN WE VISITIED BUT BURNLEY CENTRE IS NOT FAR
🥾 2.5 mile circular
Difficulties- Some gates around the lake but all open to fit a wheelchair through, stones on the path so terrain wheels would be best.
One of the gates to go through but wide enough for the wheelchair, the path is a public bridleway so often see horses on the path.
Easy path to cross the bridge
The path is level throughout but very stone stones span across the path so terrain wheelchair would be best suited.
Clowbridge reservoir is populare with all types of walkers, there is paths to venture into the hills, bird watching or the accessible path around thew reservoir.
Its only a short circular but it offers some lovely views and a great place to enjoy a picnic.
