Pup Obi Travels

Having worked in Rossendale for a few years and now moved to Cheshire, I took Mark to explore an area called Dunnockshaw Community Woodland. Above Burnley, the area of moorland recently became a community woodland space, hundreds of trees had been planted and often I did a few Walks for Health Walks in the area. It was a lovely day out sharing an area that in time will develop into a place to explore further as the trees grow and mature.

The Singing Ringing Tree on the sculptures built here as a tourist attraction and links to the rural landscape of this area of Lancashire. Seriously does ring when the wind blows through the tubes.

Dunnockshaw Woodland has a very hidden history with a packhorse trail running by the reservoir, hidden farm steads dotted and lost on the moorland and the lost medieval village of Gambleside which lies under the reservoir.

Clowbridge Reservoir is an impressive body of water which sadly meant Gambleside and the land around changed forever. The reservoir is used for windsurfing and other sports. No one was out on the water today though.
