Tockholes Reservoir near Darwen Lancashire (pic heavy)

So, I had been up to the reservoir at Tockholes fishing with family a few times and have always seen people walking dogs around there. Since its a 20 min drive from us we have been putting off taking blue up there for a while.

We drove up and parked at the Royal Arms (im told its dog friendly) pub on Tockholes road and followed the paths around the reservoirs. Its about 3 miles (5k), it gets a little muddy in the winter but there is loads of woodland where dogs can run off lead and streams and reservoirs for when the weather is warmer.

Best walk we've had in ages, Blue got to meet lots of other reasonably well mannered dogs and we enjoyed the scenery.

the route is here with a link at the bottom to the trailzilla info. LINK

Great pics and it looks like a nice spot for a walk

What a great place that looks to go walking... Brilliant pics too

Wow, that does look like a great place for a quiet walk, only wish I lived closer

Nice pics. This is a great place to go.
The pub is dog freindly and they do a good chip butty

Good to know the pub is dog friendly, could be worthy of inclusion in the dog friendly pub section
