To do this, cross the road into Binns Lane, noting the view of the two pinnacles and an interesting well. Note that this lane follows a spring line illustrated on Lothersdale Road by the name Well Springs Farm. The monuments were built by Mr James Lund of Malsis Hall, and by the Wainman family of Carr Head Hall. It is believed the obelisk was built to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. Lund 's Tower (Sutton Pinnacle) to the left, is thought to either have been built for his daughter or for Queen Victoria 's Jubilee.

The shortest walk can be completed by taking the well marked footpath through a stile on the left just before Green Home Farm and following this back across the fild parallel with Binns lane, through a gated stile, down the next field through two fields to an old farmyard at White Abbey and onto Green Lane where a right turn will bring you to Colne Road. Turn left for Glusburn School. Note the magnificent wildflower quality of these meadows.

A slightly longer route also leads to Colne Road at Glusburn Bridge where the main road enters the village over its local beck, worth visiting for its views up and down stream. This route is taken by going through the stile in the wall behind Green Home Farm, crossing the field to the large ash tree below the barn and following the path straight down the field and an interesting old gated stile along an atmospheric little track through the old Corn Mill and its archway to Glusburn Bridge. Turn left along Colne road to Glusburn School. The old mill stands on the site of the tudor corn mill that served the locality. The mill pond was filled in but can be traced exactly by the lorry park created in the 1960's and the original leat leading from a powerful weir along with sluices can be discerned in the fields along the north bank of the beck.

The longest route involves continuing along Binns Lane until it rises towards West Closes Farm. look for a six barred gate which is waymarked. Pass through and follow the line of the hedge to your left to a junction of gates. Note the variety of trees in this hedge, its very old:- lime, hazel, elm,oak,blackthorn, hawthorn, holly and dog rose. Evidence of deer may be seen. Follow the waymark sign and keep the hedge on your right. Again a very old one, rowan, birch, sycamore and wild cherry(Padus malus).

Take care of the slope down to the steps and the path crosses over North Beck, on a new footbridge called Rattan Ghyll. Note the squeeze stile at the far end of the bridge, it is very unusual. At this point you are walking along the Craven Fault. Totally different rocks are on either side of the valley. Keep straight ahead and go into three fields and over two stiles to Leys Lane and turn left. It comes out by Birks Bridge and further on to the right is Lumb Mill. This marked the local beginnings of the Industrial Revolution and is now a listed building. The surrounding cottages date back to the 1500 's and are a superb example of the cottage architecture of this time. They are technically situated in Cowling. Turn left along the lane, go past Malsis School, previously Malsis Hall and turn left onto Colne Road. Continue down to the bridge and note Bridge End Farm, to the left. This farm site dates back to the 14th century. The tithes were then paid to Bolton Priory. Looking to the right is Glusburn Corn mill. For over 800 years records show there has been a mill on this site, which was originally driven by a waterwheel. For over 200 years the mill has been owned by the Pearson family. Now it deals in animal foodstuffs rather than grinding corn.
