Overview

From Hobson Moor Road we descend to Meadowbank Farm before picking up the Penine Bridleway through Swallow Wood and up to Lees Hill with hopefully lovely views. Crossing over between the Swineshaw reservoirs we then climb up towards Harridge Pike, skirting round it before a descent to Walkerwood Reservoir. Our route then skirts Wild Bank Hill before heading back to the start.
