Pictures from Walk 12 - White Coppice, Great Hill, Abbey Village
 
The following photographs taken on Walk 12


 

Misty view from Chapel Lane over to Stronstrey Bank. Note the greenhouse standing out (far ight)

 

As you climb up from Coppice this is the view to your right to Healey Nab

 

Snow is thicker now approaching Coppice Stile. Harrock Hill in the distance (far left) pokes above a fog bank

Zooming in on Harrock Hill and the fog bank

 

Nearing Great Hill summit and looking down to Great Hill Farm's ruins

 

Great Hill summit, with Darwen Tower away in the distance.

Low clouds catch the sunlight below Winter Hill's masts. Note the shadow at the top of the mast, appearing to make it look like the mast is split

 

Another view - this time both the mast and its shadow are clearly visible

A relic from WW2 - this was built to trap oil from an installation further up the moor were oil was lit to create a decoy
