Overview

This is a walk with great scenery and lots of inclines in the hilly and rough terrain outside Todmorden.

IMPORTANT UPDATE from walk leader 8/12/25

I have just done the recce. It's EXTREMELY wet underfoot.

The walk is 8.5 miles but there are plenty of opportunities to cut it short if the weather is awful or to extend it if the weather is fine!

There are quite a few slippery stiles plus one or two very steep (and slippery) uphill climbs.

The first third of the walk is quite high and exposed so if the weather is cold and windy people need to be prepared with additional layers.
