Map used in defining route:
Ordnance Survey South Pennines, OL21 1:25 000 scale.

Much of the route borrows sections of the Pendle Way, the Burnley Way and the Bronte Way. These routes are waymarked.
Care should be taken to avoid confusing the emblems used for the Burnley Way and the Bronte Way. Both routes use the symbol ‘B’, however the colours are different.

All distances and bearings are given as a guide and are approximate. This guide starts from the centre of Nelson because the Railway Station and the Bus Station are close by.

The Clarion House Way is a circular walk that can be started at any suitable access point. The walk is designed to be done in a day by fit and experienced walkers.

Splitting the route into a two day walk is made very easy by ending day one in Burnley which has a Railway Station and a Bus station near to the town centre. The Clarion House Way crosses the main road to Nelson and a bus stop is nearby.

The guide has been put together in 7 parts, all of which can be completed in less than three hours at a gentle pace, alternative transport arrangements will have to be made to the start and the finish of each section.
