Bacup: Newchurch Old Road
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 30 Jun 2011
Seen from its junction with Bankside Lane, Newchurch Old Road, although narrow, looks driveable, but motorised access is not really possible beyond Huttock Top Farm, where there is a small car park for visitors to 'Animal Quackers', a sort of children's zoo. Drivers of 4x4 vehicles may imagine they can make further progress beyond here, but this is possible for only about 100 yards to a point where the Old Road has become completely filled with vegetation, and even pedestrians have to leave the 'road' and walk along a footpath over the rough moorland ground alongside.
