The Burnley Way – Walk 1

The Weavers Triangle to Queen Street Mill

Explore the first section of the Burnley Way on this varied and accessible route of around 6–7 miles. This stretch offers a gentle introduction to the wider trail, taking you from the town centre out along canal paths, through green spaces and into quieter countryside.

This section is generally suitable for most walkers, including those looking for a steady but manageable route, with a mix of surfaced paths and some more natural terrain. It’s a great choice for a relaxed walk, whether you’re heading out with friends, family, or exploring on your own.

Starting in the Burnley area, there is parking available at key points near the route, including town centre car parks and public transport links, making it easy to begin and end your walk.

As a linear section of the wider 40-mile Burnley Way, it can be walked on its own or linked with other sections, using local bus routes or connecting paths to create a longer journey, or even to complete the full circular route.
