찰스워스 최고의 사이클링 경로

tried parking here today (9th August 2025) and there was a metal fixed barrier immediately after turning off woodhead pass to descend to the parking spot. Appears to be permanently shut.

Take a photo trying to pull the cyclist wearing the Wellies out of the embankment for a bit of fun.

this was my favourite part of the ride that day

very very steep, needed to push bike up steps

The station was opened on 8 April 1844 by the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. It was served by stopping passenger trains operating on the route from Manchester London Road to Sheffield Victoria. The station was later operated by the Great Central Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway. A new station was opened in 1953 by the Eastern Region of British Railways on a different site in conjunction with the opening of the new Woodhead Tunnel and electrification of the line. The station was closed on 27 July 1964 but the line remained open for passengers trains until 1970 and to freight traffic until 1981.

Woodhead reservoir is a man-made lake near the hamlet of Woodhead in Longdendale in north Derbyshire, England. It was constructed by John Frederick Bateman between 1847 and June 1877 as part of the Longdendale Chain of reservoirs to supply water from the River Etherow to the urban areas of Greater Manchester. It is at the top of the chain of reservoirs and was the first to be started, though, due to construction problems, it was the last to be completed.

Torside Reservoir is the largest artificial lake in Longdendale, north Derbyshire, England. It was built by John Frederick Bateman between April 1849 and July 1864 as part of the Longdendale reservoir chain to supply urban areas of Greater Manchester with water from the River Etherow.

The high-voltage cables have now been laid through Tunnel 3.
