There are two videos about Halo.  The first is the official documentary of the project – view here.  The second was made by pupils of All Saints Catholic High School and documents their experiences in the weeks leading up to the launch – view here.

Plan your visit

Heading south leave the M65 J8 and join the A56 , or from the M66 heading north, into A56 – At rising Bridge roundabout take Blackburn Road exit (A680) past Winfields to Haslingden – About 1/2 mile after the first set of traffic lights turn sharp left up a steep hill known as Hud Rake onto High St – 400metres or so further on take another sharp left turn on to Higher Lane.  Only residents and those with disabled parking permits can park beyond this point, so park near St.James’s Church and walk up Higher Lane. Halo is around a 15 minute walk up the hill.

Halo does not have a post code – however the nearest buildings on Cribden End Lane have the postcode BB4 8UB. We hope that helps those of you with satnavs!

Walk:

Download a Top O’Slate and Halo walk map here.  Please bear in mind that this leaflet was produced in 2009 and some of the information may no longer be accurate.  One visitor reported that they found Walk 3 quite steep in several sections.  Please consider your own mobility prior to setting out on the walks.
