Overview

Starting along the Rochdale canal towpath to Mythomroyd where we leave it to take a steep climb onto Erringden Moor, below Stoodley Pike. Here we'll have magnificent views over moors,green pastures and hilltop villages (weather permitting). Once onto Erringden Moor we follow an old packhorse trail until we reach Studley Pike. From here we'll pick up the Pennine Way gradually dropping back down to the river Calder and the canal which we follow back to Hebden Bridge.

Car park on the right as you drive along the road to Hebden Bridge station. This is a small pay and display car park, not the larger station car park though they are within a few yards of each other. Turn off the A646 immediately cross a bridge over the canal and the car park is on your right.
