A pleasant circular walk from Orrell Water Park to Billinge Hill which is the highest point in Merseyside and we will have extensive views over Liverpool and Manchester (weather permitting). The walk is quite easy going but there is quite a steep climb to get onto the summit of Billinge Hill where we have lunch. From there we drop down to walk back into Orrell Water Park. Following the walk we will go to a nearby pub for refreshments. The suggested donation for non-Ramblers Association (RA) members is £2 to cover Meet-up costs. Please note that we restrict the number of places available on Meet-up as (unlike other Meet-up groups) we have a significant number of Ramblers who attend our walks and who are not required to book as attending via this app. We would, therefore, respectfully request that you do not reserve a place on any walk unless you are sure that you will attend. Alternatively, why not join us and be a part of the Ramblers for a small annual subscription? Membership guarantees a place on all 'Hike on Lancashire' walks and ensures priority access to events organised by the Group. You can also walk with any other Ramblers Group across the UK. Annual subscriptions go toward maintaining paths and allow the RA to campaign for improved access to the countryside. You will also receive the monthly 'Walk' magazine and a 15% discount at Cotswold Outdoors.
