Overview

This walk encompasses moorland, farmland and lane walking. We make our way over moorland/M62 and then up Clegg Moor/Hoar Edge to the Broad Head drain path. Thereafter a descent down the "roman road" en-route to Hollingworth Lake visitor centre. Then through Rakewood and an ascent via Deep Lane and Tunshill Lane before descending back to Ogden reservoir. Small free car park and lane parking.
