It takes in much of the areas history and can be broken down into 8 shorter walks from 3.5 miles to 8 miles.
It is a high-level route connecting Bacup, Rawtenstall, Haslingden and Whitworth in the Rossendale Valley, crossing the open moors and farmland of the South Pennines which roughly follows the Rossendale Borough boundary.
The walk is suitable for walkers of all abilities.
Although not difficult, conditions underfoot can be wet and snow covered in winter so waterproof footwear is recommended.
