South Pennines Walks
This page provides links to my walks in the South Pennines. I've defined the South Pennines as the main Pennine watershed between the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Basically, this is the moorland of East Lancashire and West Yorkshire and includes places such as Hebden Bridge and Calderdale, Haworth and Bronte Country and the moorland around most of Rossendale. I consider this to be my home patch.
