Wonderful access for all who live in Cheshire, West Yorks, Derbyshire and Lancashire....is the Longdendale Trail. Longdendale is known as 'The Haunted Valley' - see www.longdendale.com/legends.html
This long walking/cycling/ bridleway is set over the most stunning views of the moors and the
reserviors below. Spend a day tootling along the flat trail or take a detour onto one of the many paths up the moors.
Glossop is the main little market town nearby. Lots to see and do - check
