Can anyone give details of a walk up or around Billinge Hill. Ideally a circular one, about 1.5 to 2 hours. Parking spot, directions, any nice pubs on route etc.

| Rogues is probably your best man for that question, try the Wigan board if you haven't already.  |

Along Rainford Road about half a mile from the mini roundabout in Billinge there is a road on your right, it's a small road that leads up to what was Crookhurst Farm. Just Park at the bottom of that Road (closest to Rainford Road)
Then walk up the small road towards the farmhouse. At the farmhouse go left and just follow the road up to Billinge Hill, some great views on your left hand side. When you reach the top of the path go right and 200 yards later go left up to the Hill itself. If it's a clear day the views are stunning. You can see as far South as Wales, North up to Blackpool, East to Manchester and Derbyshire, and West to Liverpool and and the Wirral.
From the Hill I would walk though the woods and that will eventually bring you out on Crank Road. When you get there turn right and you will come to The Holt Arms www.qualitypubs.co.uk/holtsarms/ better known as The Foot, which does good food.
After being suitably fed and watered turn right and go back up Crank Road. Just keep going for a couple of miles and about half a mile past Houghwood Golf Club on your left there is a path. Take that path and it will eventually lead to Red Barn Road. Follow that road and it will lead to Rainford Road and you car should be about 400 yards on the left.
Enjoy |

Rogues. Not wishing to complicate matters but they would need to be careful as they leave the hill and keep over to the left off the woods otherwise they may come out on Upholland Rd near hare and Hounds.
