Description
Blaheb1
This route follows an ancient packhorse trail across fields, over a 'clam' bridge across Colden Water, rising along paths above the wooded Colden valley to Heptonstall, before dipping down into Hebden Bridge. There are long sections where the original causey stones can still be seen, and far-reaching views along the way. A leaflet about the route with more information is published by the Pennine Horizons Project - see www.pennineheritage.org.uk

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
