A long, straight gravel path will lead you along the side of the picturesque Cupwith Reservoir.

On a clear day, the views of the surrounding countryside are spectacular. And the area is not too frequented by crowds either, so it's likely you'll be able to enjoy some peace and solitude.

Hiking

Follow Colne Valley Circular all the way down to Marsden. It's boggy in places so appropriate footwear is essential, unless we have a Summer drought.
