There are so many routes to explore in Todmorden and this recalls one of my first walks in this area featuring history, great views and lots of variety climbing and dropping down again. The route undulates through woodland, fields,moors and mud!

Boots are strongly advised. Trainers will not keep you safe going downhill on muddy slopes.
