HEBDEN BRIDGE - Burlees

Nick, Frank S and Rich went to work on a path that leads down from Burlees Lane towards Falling Royd. A walker had reported that the path edge was crumbling on one side and the holly was invading on the other side. We did lots of cutting back, put in four lengths of revetment, and levelled the path. It is now much easier walking, with less chance of falling into the brambles below.

This work was funded by an individual donation.

The details:

This photo shows how narrow the path had become with holly encroaching from above and the path crumbling down into the brambles.
