Greenfield to Marsden (part 1)

The Huddersfield Canal passes through the village of Greenfield on the eastern outskirts of Manchester

It's an attractive section of the canal.... 

... with the River Tame (as in 'Tameside') flowing alongside it down the valley

The Manchester to Huddersfield railway also follows this valley with some fine viaducts 

Both the canal and the railway pass under the south Pennines through the Standedge Tunnels. This is the entrance to the canal tunnel in the village of  Diggle 

The Tunnel information board


The entrance to the railway tunnel 

Climbing up towards Saddleworth Moor

The route follows the Pennine Bridleway National trail at this point
