Mytholmroyd to Luddenden Foot

This morning had been a wet Saturday so I’d racked my brains trying to think of somewhere to walk that wouldn’t be too muddy.  Eventually I came up with this walk.  I have walked on here before and so I wouldn’t need my book to guide me and it’s just a straightforward walk from Mytholmroyd Train station along the cycle route.

 The path to Luddenden foot goes along side the railway lines for a good part of the way. It then takes off through a field towards a small group of houses and an old school. 

  The autumn colours are starting to show through now and there were piles of leaves everywhere.  As I was walking along I came to a storage area for old buses. 

The way back from Luddenden Foot to Mytholmroyd is alongside the canal.  This part of the walk was much more muddy – probably because it’s a more well used path. 

The trees are just beginning to turn and the Rochdale canal looked really pretty even though the weather was none too brilliant.

A pleasant 4 mile walk when the weather is glum.
