Well this time i'm with him
Wondering aimlessly around the moors, in good company
This time tackling Oswaldtwistle moor, Haslingden moor, Hare clough and Edgerton
moss to Pike lowe. Bringing you to the area of Haslingden Grane.
Haslingden Grane lies in the north-east corner of the West Pennine Moors, with
good road access along the B6232 from both the M65 motorway at Blackburn, and
the towns of the Rossendale Valley.
The Grane valley has an intriguing air of desolation which still haunts the many
ruined farmsteads, which were abandoned when the reservoirs were built to supply
drinking water to the growing industrial towns.
Today the picturesque reservoirs of Calf Hey, Ogden and Holden Wood and the
surrounding moorland offer visitors some excellent walking routes. Clough Head
information centre is open throughout the year, with a permanent exhibition on
the local and natural history of the area, ideas for other places to visit in
the West Pennine Moors and an insight into the water business. Refreshments are
also available.
The recreation site facilities available at Haslingden Grane include:
* toilets
* picnic area
* dogs allowed
* restaurant/ takeaway food
* wheelchair friendly - Calf Hey trail suitable for assisted wheelchair
users
* car parking
* disabled toilet facilities available (RADAR key)
