Walking Britain Cheeseden Brook from Pooley Bridge, Heywood
Introduction to Walk 1619
County/Area - Greater Manchester
Author - Allan Friswell
Length - 7.4 miles / 12 km
Ascent - 700 feet / 212 metres
Time - 4 hours 20 minutes
Grade - easy/mod
This Rochdale walk features a mixture of road, pasture, woodland, riverside and hilltop walking. The Calderdale signature note of running water is rarely far away. In winter an extremely muddy walk, and the half mile ridge overlooking Cheeseden Brook is vertiginous, making the use of a walking pole a good idea. But wonderful high views over to Heywood and to the impressive turbines on distant Scout Moor.
Please maintain social distancing - keep at least 2 metres away from other walkers.
