Church warden and secretary Janet Furber said: "It is a good chance for people to get together for a social chat and also enjoy the scenery in the area that some may not have seen before.
"We followed footpaths across the back of the Bears Paw over Church Farm, Hill Top Farm and Old Hough land and everyone managed to complete the three mile walk including dogs having to be lifted over stiles."

Walkers gathered in the Bears Paw afterwards for sandwiches and chips.
"We aim to raise over £200,000 for the restoration of the tower through fundraising, donations and grants," said Janet. "Major masonry work and re-roofing of the tower is required."
