4 mile, two hour walk along the Colne Valley starting in Slaithwaite village

Head in the Marsden direction towards Rotcher picnic area, then follow paths to West Slaithwaite where you cross the canal and river and head up past Zapato Brewery towards the Olive Branch bistro.

Crossing the A62 Manchester Road, you will follow a footpath uphill to pick up the Colne Valley Circular on the southern flank of the valley and wander back through fields towards Yew Tree Lane, a steep lane heading back down into the village, crossing the A62 and then down the steps to the bridge over the river.

See map below for guidance. There is a leaflet published by Golcar and Slaithwaite Walkers Are Welcome with more detailed directions - see link below. See also OS Map OL 21 South Pennines
