Difficulty:

Moderate

Terrain:

Terrain: A fascinating mix reflecting its industrial past and natural regeneration. Paths around the Heritage Centre and some main routes are often well-surfaced (compacted stone/gravel) and relatively accessible. Trails exploring the former ironworks ruins, woodlands, and along the Rochdale Canal or River Medlock can be earthier, uneven, rooty, with steps, and become muddy and slippery after rain. Some moderate slopes and climbs, particularly through woodland or up from the valley floor.
