Walk description:

This is the third and shortest of three walks offered by the Manchester Pedestrian Club. This 4 mile walk takes us up the side of the valley, around the interesting rock formation of Orchan Rocks, and across the heather to the legendary Bridestones – rich with local folk-lore – before heading back down to Todmorden. Great views.

The Manchester Pedestrian Club was founded in 1903 and has arranged walks nearly every week since then, over 5600 walks in total – most of which have been recorded. See “http://mpcwalking.org.uk/”.
