Attentive walkers will notice that as the lane accompanies the river, they are apparently going the wrong way, downstream, but this anomaly is necessary in order to gain the opposite bank at Grindleton Bridge. Upstream of Grindleton Bridge, the river has undercut the bank, taking with it the path, and although reinstatement is planned, it has not yet been completed. In the meantime, a diversion is signed along the lane via Grindleton village to Sawley.

The Ribble below Grindleton Bridge

Swing sharp right over the bridge to join a riverside path, passing the outflow of Swanside Beck some ¾ mile (1.2km) upstream, which used to mark the old Lancashire boundary. Just after the confluence cross a stile and walk away from the bank to a second stile, then bear right up the field to a ladder stile beyond a stream at the far end. Climb away above an abrupt fold containing the stream and, after negotiating another stile at the top, strike diagonally across to a final stile to the left of a gate in the top wall out of the field. Follow the lane right, cresting the hill to drop into Sawley. Approaching the village you can avoid the last section of lane down to the bridge by crossing into the meadow beside the water. Rejoining the lane, walk over the bridge into Sawley.
