Overview

This is a moderate/strenuous approx 8 mile walk with an initial very steep ascent to Heptonstall. There is woodland and moorland walking and, as always in the Calderdale area, there are ongoing ascents and descents including more steep steps later in the walk. Some of the steps are quite high.
