061: Hilltop of Holcombe (Ramsbottom, Holcombe Moor and Peel Tower) (West Pennine Moors 2016)

WEST PENNINE MOORS WALK FEATURING RAMSBOTTOM, HOLCOMBE MOOR AND PEEL TOWER

“Hilltop of Holcombe”
Filmed 14th July 2016
Post-production completed 12th August 2016

I travel to the pretty town of Ramsbottom at the edge of the West Pennine Moors, a location new to me, but my visit here is to do a walk in the area recommended to me. This exciting adventure for me brings me to a walk high above the town, specifically across Holcombe Moor to eventually visit a fantastic huge monument, which can be seen dominating the hilltop for many miles around…..

Filmed in the West Pennine Moors in the counties of Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Locations include Ramsbottom, Holcombe Moor, Pilgrims’ Cross, Harcles Hill and Peel Tower. This is the first film in the West Pennine Moors.

Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
