Pennine Way Trail, Peak District National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great flow-y track to begin with, then gets abit technical in places - finishes off with a nice fire type road down into Marsden. Definitely worth it to go down, rather than up!

Nice riding on the Longdendale trail. Nothing difficult so a nice trail for families with kids. Can get very busy so pick your time well. Weekends is obviously always relatively busy. Nice views all along the trail.
