| The Sabden Way A Circular Walk Round the Beautiful Sabden Valley -
9 miles |

| Leave the farm and continue left along the track noting the thin upright stone wall on the left. This is a vaccary wall, originally enclosing cattle pasture, and is the oldest wall in the valley. Pass over a stile and Ratten Clough Farm is facing you. The farm has been in the Gill family since 1932 and was purchased from the Water Board in 1971. Keep to the right of the farm buildings and follow a path to the top corner of the field where you climb a stone stile in the wall. Carry on straight ahead and towards a small pine forest, keeping the trees on your left, and then descend, following the wall down the track, until you meet the stream feeding Churn Clough Reservoir. |  |
