Gisburn Forest

The start of walk through Gisburn Forest. Stocks Reservoir in the centre of Gisburn Forest

 The car park at the start of the walk

 One of the many forest tracks

 Bottoms Beck that flows through the forest

 Looking across to Hesbert Hall

 Another part of Bottoms Beck



 At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this group of conifer trees. Look more closely and you will see that they are growing from a single trunk of a tree which as fallen (to the left)!

 Hesbert Hall

 A young labourer is using his skill to build a dry-stone wall. It takes him a day to build two square metres.

Dalehead Church (St. James, Stocks in Bowland) Note the wind generator providing power for the church.


The church notice-board


Arriving back at the car park - a very different scene of Stocks Reservoir!
