Two Brooks Valley

Two Brooks Valley lies deep within Hawshaw valley between Turton Road and Bolton Road. In the 18 and 19 centuries, the valley sustained a community in itself, with a number of mills, works, farms and several groups of cottages. The remains of many of these can still be seen within the valley, and the network of public paths in the area is evidence of the previous acitivity.

These paths, once busy links for horses, carts and workers, now provide the opportunity for a leisurely stroll in the delightful setting of woods, brooks, lodges and fields, or for a more depth exploration of the wildlife, industrial and architectural interest of the valley.
