A circular dog friendly walk around Crompton Moor. Crompton Moor rises above the town of Shaw, in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester.

 

How to get there

Exit the M62 at Junction 21, following the signs to Shaw and Milnrow. In Shaw, aim for the B6197 Buckstones Road. Next to the Shaw Edge Methodist Church, follow the sign pointing to Crompton Moor and the Bushes Clough car park.

 

Walk

1 From the car park, head south keeping to the edge of the moor near the entry road. Follow the path as it turns slightly to the left. Keep to the right path when the path splits.
