Worsthorne Moor is situated to the east of Burnley, beyond the villages of Worsthorne and Hurstwood. Road access is off the A646 at the Long Causeway, between Burnley and Hebden Bridge.
Worsthorne Moor is one of the largest water gathering areas in the South Pennines, feeding the reservoirs at Hurstwood and Cant Clough. Below the open moorland is a network of waymarked trails, including The Hushings, Sheddon Clough Circuit and the Hurstwood Loop, each an opportunity to discover the local and natural history of this fascinating area.
The Mary Towneley Loop was the first section of the Pennine Bridleway National Trail to be opened in 2002, offering a long distance option for walkers, cyclyists and horseriders.
