Standedge to Calder Valley
The next few days of walking are much flatter and therefore easier! What you gain in ease, however, you forfeit in remoteness. This section passes through a much more urbanised section of country.
moderate
Distance 23.8 km
Walking through open heather moorlands, passing several reservoirs and cutting through the busy Calder Valley. You will overnight in the lovely town of Hebden Bridge at the end of this section.
