Weekend Walks: Longendale Trail
One of my favorite weekend pass time is a lazy morning followed by a bracing work will my dog and hubby. Every Week end I’m going to post fantastic places to go that have a different edge to them away from the push bikes and prams.
History fact: The reservoirs were completed in 1877 and were the largest artificial expanses of water in the world at that time.
Longdendale Trail
You can find the Longdendale Trail within the Peak District National Park – south of the A628 and north of the town of Glossop. The good thing is that as it’s made up of 5 reservoirs you can gauge how hard or how long you want to walk for. The best time to really go is either first thing on Saturday or Sunday morning. By the afternoon you get all the day trippers
The trail is about 13 miles circular around all 5 rivers starting from Hadfield, Derbyshire to Woodhead Tunnel before crossing the A628 towards the Yorkshire border at Salter’s Brook and back. Like I said thought the good thing is that you can time it to what you suite and all the reservoirs are a circle route back on your self. Depending on how fast you walk you can average one reservoir all the way round in about 45 minute.
I have been walking here fro years as I am lucky to have it right on my door step. If like me you are a regarded there are many a little path to take you off the beaten track – but first timer better stick to what is officially there
The route follows what was the Manchester to Sheffield railway and to get started find it via Platt Street, Hadfield, Torside Car Park.
Poly Tunnel at great prices.
