Walk description
Starting from the soon to be re-opened pub (formerly the Bay Horse and Algy Arms) at Hade Edge we descend to Holme Styes Reservoir, cross the River Ribble and ascend to Cartworth Moor. We descend through the hamlet of Malkin House to reach a bridge crossing the River Holme. We pass by Bottoms Mill, cross Woodhead Road where we follow a lane to Liphill Bank.
From Liphill Bank we have a short but steep climb to the hamlets of Booth House and Hogley Green, then follow paths to the hamlets of Carr Green and Austonley before a steep descent to Holmbridge. Leaving Holmbridge we once again cross Woodhead Road and climb to Crow Hill where we join Ramsden Road (a track). Leaving Ramsden Road we enter access land at Peat Pit Moss and follow Ramsden Edge to Snailsden Reservoir and Cook’s Study Hill. We have little more road walking before joining a track to Long Ing eventually returning to Hade Edge.
