Marple to Glossop
A station-to-station walkCheshireNorth of England
Far-reaching views in both directions. Climbs directly from Marple up to Brown Low with far-reaching views, then descends easily through fields of sheep, passing through a farm, before reaching the suburbs of Glossop on easy pavement. Surfaces include road verge, dirt track and loose rocks and pasture; Gird Lane is rocky and quite steep with water running down it. Charlesworth is a good intermediate stop with a general store. Recommended for those able to walk uphill on uneven ground and cross fields with farm animals.
Lunch: A general store and a pub at Charlesworth mid-route.
Warnings: Until roughly Mill Brow the route is mostly on narrow lanes with frequent cars and no pavement; Gird Lane is rocky, steep and can run with water (caution in wet or icy weather); many stiles, a kissing gate, and horses and sheep in fields.
