Difficult
Hike up through outlying hamlets at the head of the Colne Valley, to reach March Hill, one of the highest points around, with stunning views back down the Valley. The hill was used by our Mesolithic hunter-gatherer forebears as a flint-knapping spot and hunting camp.
Walk in the footsteps of the pack horses and their drivers as you descend the pack horse road on your return to Marsden.
This walk crosses exposed, open moorland. Make sure you wear suitable footwear, and bring weatherproof clothing.
How Tricky Is it?
A longer walk requiring a good level of fitness, crossing hilly ground or moorland with rising and falling levels. Paths may be rough and uneven, with some steeper slopes, or longer sections of ascent and descent.
