One of the best roads in the country. Easy way up compared to coming up from Dunsop Bridge. Both routes are amazing. But the onward routes through the Forest of Bowland are well worth exploring!... read more

Fairly long and easy climb from Marshaw. Great descent to Dunsop bridge from the top trough the valley. Highly recommended.
