Mountain biking

A site you don’t expect to see; a tiny little church that’s over 500 years old just off the Woodhead Pass. You’ll come across it if you ride the bridleways from Crowden and head on the Northern Horse Route. A nice little place for a stop off with some cracking views of woodhead reservoir, go in the dark and it’s quite eerie.

A small church which was built in the 18th century. Built for the people who build the old railway tunnel. Rumour has it that there is still a service every so often.
