The A680 moorland road from Rochdale in the southeast climbs up and over Ashworth Moor and past the reservoir and then over Turf Moor before droping back down towards Edenfield.
Great views and fun riding in either direction.

Starting at the Ashworth reservoir opposite the famously haunted ‘Owd Betts’ public house, this is a great way to explore the wind farm at Scout Moor whilst enjoying the solitude away from the nearby conurbations. The route also skirts around the highest point of the Forest of Rossendale – Hailstorm Hill.

One feels on top of an entire City during the long descent back down the Pennine Bridleway when over the Rossendale border, while somehow in the total quiet of the Greater Manchester countryside. Be prepared for some breathtaking views that stretch as far as the Cheshire plain on these under-explored paths.
