A PUB walk started to share local nature and history has raised almost £2k for good causes since this summer.

The walks, from The Alma Inn in Laneshaw Bridge near Colne take place on the first Sunday at each month and see around 70 people taking in the local area.

Walks so far have included; The Footsteps of the Brontes, The Barnside Murders, Kelbrook Moor, and Heyroyd House and The East Colne Way.

The Alma Inn provides complimentary bacon sandwiches and coffee before the keen walkers set off, but they can leave a donation to a chosen cause and the generous ramblers have so far raised almost £2,000.

The walks are led by Laneshaw Bridge resident Paul White who said: “It’s been great that The Alma have provided the refreshments and it’s been fantastic too, to be able to plan each of these walks each month and show people just how much history we have here, right in walking distance.”
