About Hoarstone Edge

You'll find Hoarstone Edge rising above Greenfield with proper fell-walking credentials and views that stretch across Lancashire on a clear day. It's the kind of spot where you actually earn your vantage point - a genuine hill walk, not a stroll. The rock formations that give it its name are striking, weathered grey stone that catches the light differently depending on the time of day. Count on an hour to ninety minutes if you're starting from the valley; the path isn't technical but it's relentless enough that you'll feel your legs working. Walkers absolutely get the most from this one. Families with older kids who don't mind a proper climb will enjoy it too, though young children might find the steepness tedious. The views downslope toward Dovestone Holiday Park and across to the moorland beyond make the huffing worthwhile. There's no cafe at the top, no visitor centre, no facilities really - it's just you and the ridge. That's precisely what makes it good. Go early on a weekday morning if you want to avoid the car park shuffle. The winter light up here is particularly fine if you don't mind the cold. It's straightforward fell-walking rather than a tourist attraction, which means it doesn't tick all the boxes for everyone, but for anyone staying at Dovestone Holiday Park looking to stretch their legs properly, this beats a gentle park wander by miles.
