Walk 3380 - Blackstone Edge from Hollingworth Lake

The South Pennines, despite the industrial development in the valleys, still retain an air of wilderness. From the summits of the hills you are reminded of the many towns and cities that flank the Pennine hills, yet often you can enjoy the view in total silence uninterrupted by other people. This walk starts from the shores of a lake that was once very popular with the inhabitants of the local mill towns and climbs gently onto the Pennine Ridge.
