HARD
Marsden 10 Mile Challenge
16.4km · 357m climb · Loop · 14km away
It is the whole of Marsden Moor in one loop - Wessenden, Standedge and the reservoir chain - on ground that carries centuries of packhorse and canal history, and you can run it door to door from the train.
Stoodley Pike from Hebden BridgeHARD
Stoodley Pike from Hebden Bridge
12.5km · 300m climb · Loop · 15km away
You climb from a canal in the valley floor to a 37m stone monument on the moor edge, and the view back over Calderdale from the base of the Pike is worth every metre of the climb.

Wadsworth TrogVERY HARD
Wadsworth Trog
31.5km · 1,044m climb · Loop · 15km away
This is the Wadsworth Trog, a proper Calderdale beast: mile after mile of high Pennine moor, peat bog and reservoir embankment that locals rate among the toughest moorland rounds in the north.
Checked Jul 2026
HARD
Easter Gate, March Haigh and Black Moss Reservoirs
16.8km · 349m climb · Loop · 15km away
You string together three reservoirs and a stretch of the Pennine Way on quiet moor tracks, with the whole of Marsden Moor opening out around you and almost nobody else about.
MODERATE
Shipley Glen and Baildon Moor
12.7km · 215m climb · Loop · 15km away
You start at the World Heritage village of Saltaire, run the canal and the wooded ravine of Shipley Glen, then climb to the trig on Baildon Moor for a proper moor-top view over Airedale.
Heptonstall and Hardcastle CragsVERY HARD
Heptonstall and Hardcastle Crags
24.0km · 859m climb · Loop · 16km away
You get the full Calderdale contrast in one loop: the deep, wooded gorge of Hardcastle Crags and the wild open moor above, joined by the cobbled hilltop village of Heptonstall.
