We are the Rochdale Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Helmshore Textile Museum we are making our way past Holden Wood Reservoir before crossing the road and then walking parallel with the Grane Road with views of Ogden and Calf Hey reservoirs. We cross the Grane Road and walk round Calf Hey reservoir before joining the Rossendale Way and returning past Ogden and Holden Wood reservoirs. There are a number of stiles (approx 11, some in a poor state of repair) and, depending on the weather, some sections could be very muddy. However the scenery and views are wonderful!
There are toilets about a third of the way round at Clough Head Cafe.
