Two Lads walk to return in the summer after sell out

The Woodland Trust organised a Two Lads themed community walk for people to learn about the landmark’s history, the folklore and the theories of how the cairns came to be.

With walkers learning about the past, present and future of the monument, while taking in spectacular views.

The event sold out, but say the Woodland Trust it will be back.

A spokesman said: “The event sold out overnight, but we’ll be hosting more Two Lads events throughout the summer. Keep an eye on our Eventbrite and social media so you can grab a spot on the next one.”

The walk is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Two Lads Cairns is situated on Crooked Edge Hill, next to the historic Winter Hill, a popular destination for walkers in and around Lancashire.

The Woodland Trust is planning to restore Two Lads securely to deter vandalism and make the monument safer for visitors.

The trust states that it understands the local significance and the important memories people hold of the site.

And the plan is to preserve the cairn’s history for as long as possible.
