The Rochdale Way 2

Tonight was the second leg of The Rochdale Way walk and after the awful rain yesterday it was lovely to see the sun shining as we set off from Owd Betts, down hill this time.

We could see right over Rochdale and Oldham it was a lovely clear evening. We dropped down into Naden valley and followed Naden brook. Spotted lots of wild garlic near Millcroft tea gardens - will have to remember that!

 

Over the Paper mill bridge and down the familiar path on the far side. After crossing the road we followed the brook all the way down to Bury and Rochdale Old Rd. Lots of bluebells out on this section and Wood Sorrel too.

A lovely walk - completely different terrain from last weeks walk. Not many of the Rochdale Way signs though - good job we were familiar with these paths.

Naden Brook joined the River Roch. Approx 5.75miles in all, finishing at Queens park.
