Walk 2946 - Buckstones and Linsgreave Head from Marsden

This Kirklees walk uses a mixture of canal towpath, moorland paths, pathless moor and an old packhorse route to explore the high ground to the west of the village. Offering superb views, a glimpse at the Marsden’s industrial past and excellent walking, it is wise to choose a fine day as there are sections of the route where it may be a little wet underfoot. The route also includes a section of the Pennine Way.
