This History Tour will visit Smithills Hall and Turton Tower. The route is of mixed terrain; there will be country tracks, some quiet roads and some busier roads. There are some hills on the route but they are short lived and not too challenging. There will be stops along the way to catch our breath and take in the scenery.
At each of the history venues there will be a short talk on their fascinating histories.
A refreshment stop is planned at the Woodland cafe in Turton Tower's grounds where hot drinks and snacks are available.
