Rossendale

Picture
Rossendale is an excellent location for exploring the North West of England, with links from the M66 to
major  motorways.
The cultural and shopping centres of Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool,  the west coast resorts of Blackpool and Southport,  and the National Parks of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are all within easy reach.

Rossendale has more public footpaths  within its boundary than any other borough in the country. "The hills and  valleys create an ever-changing landscape. The moor tops are atmospheric and the  valley bottoms are full of surprises."
www.visitrossendale.com 

The Rossendale Way is a 42 mile circular  route around the borough boundary - perfect preparation for longer walks such as  the Coast-to -coast and Pennine Way.

Peers Clough Farm is situated on The Mary Towneley Loop of the Pennine Bridleway, a 47 mile circular route  through the Pennines of East Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
