This is a fabulous place to stroll along when the weather is OK - but it can get windy. If the weather isn't OK, then it's a fabulous place to drive to because the journey takes you over some bleak but beautiful moorland. Presuming you DO take a walk, then once your legs are tired, you need to drive to Hebden Bridge for a coffee/pint and a bite to eat because there's NOTHING at the Edge itself !

Excellent cycling path on the Rochdale canal. Starting at the National Cycling centre (Etiahd Campus) you can either go north towards Rochdale or South towards Ashton/Bredbury. Having elected to head south on a sunny day the cycle path was excellent. Decent paths all along well lit and taking in some great views of locks, meadow, fields,hills and boats. Mostly very flat with the odd incline on every lock it is a great place to start off cycling as a beginner. Cycled 12 miles to Bredbury and back again in under 3 hrs was well worth the effort.

Well worth a trip out. Take your walking boots and a camera and enjoy the views. Tea room/cafe is excellent if a little pricey, no charge for parking.
