Take your time down this section as it can get quite busy with people, dog walkers, and cyclists. Some sections are newly laid tarmac but other areas are hardstanding compacted stone. The canal does narrow in parts but all ridable with caution at the locks.

St David's Church in Holmbridge is a charming Gothic Revival building. The church features pick‑stone walls, an elegant slate roof, a west tower with crenellated parapet and pinnacles, plus a classic seven-bay nave with lancet windows—including a tall three-light stained-glass window in the chancel.

Some short rocky paved push section going uphill but other than that all pretty consistent to the top. Lung buster for the final few hundred metres.

Superb down hill section , long and lots of mixed terrain all enjoyable . Watch out for the naked hiker 😂🫣

Nice walks around there

Handmade Bakery is a popular choice for a decent pastry and coffee. Get them at opening time.

Easily accessible from Marsden via the Kirklee way. This is a stunning spot and is the first of a chain of 4 reservoirs in the valley. There are quite a few steps to reach that reservoir but your efforts will be rewarded by the view of this beautiful structure as well as the hills surrounding it. Ideal if you prefer short walks, there is a popular circular under 4 miles from Marsden. Or for longer walk, I really enjoyed taking the 4 reservoirs; Black Hill and Pule hill on a 14 miler in Summer.

A steep downhill (or uphill from the opposite side) with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Castleshaw reservoirs.
