we often walk church- rishton on a sunny afternoon with oscar, pop up to the roebuck in rishton and sit at the picnic tables with a drink, before the return journey, as willow says a walk on the cut gives a differant perspective of the towns.

Is that what 'the cut' means Cashman? always wondered.

Hey, made me look it up and says 'other channel of water, from the idea that it was cut out of the earth'

Sometimes, you take names for granted, without really thinking what they mean, even though they are obvious.

You want to try going in the opposite direction towards Burnley, I think it's a lot more picturesque.

Ever headed in the direction of Burnley, the countryside is a lot better ?
