There are some organised walks connected to the Hyndburn Healthy heart group. I'm not sure if they've got any written copies of the routes. Unfortunately they all start from Exchange Street but they do take in footpaths etc which people may not otherwise consider walking. I'll see if they've got anyting on paper about where they go because all are circular routes rather than a straight there and back which I think makes them more interesting.

Have you thought of walking along the canal bank? When I worked in Clayton-le-Moors I quite often did that. I realise it isn't close to the hospital but as someone previously suggested you could always get a bus to your starting point. (Canal bridge at Clayton for example)
