What you’re in for

Two different 50 km loops start from the community centre at Old Town above Hebden Bridge. The Red Rose heads into Lancashire past Widdop, Worsthorne and Towneley Park, then climbs over the Cliviger moors to Gaddings Dam and Stoodley Pike; most of its climbing comes in the second half and it is the rougher of the two. The White Rose goes over Walshaw Moor towards Haworth and Bingley, through Cottingley Woods and past Ogden Water, with more road and gentler ground. The 100 km does both, with HQ as the halfway checkpoint, a drop bag and hot food, and a mandatory head torch for the second loop. Checkpoints are roughly every 10 km. Carry a map or route printout; no support or pacers.

VERY HARD

Wadsworth Trog

31.5km · 1,044m climb · Loop · 0.7km 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.

HARD

Stoodley Pike from Hebden Bridge

12.5km · 300m climb · Loop · 1.5km 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.

Checked Jul 2026

VERY HARD

Heptonstall and Hardcastle Crags

24.0km · 859m climb · Loop · 1.7km 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.

Checked Jul 2026

MODERATE

The Atom Panopticon from Wycoller Country Park

6.3km · 125m climb · Loop · 14km away

The Atom is a curved concrete shell you can stand inside, and from the doorway it frames Pendle Hill one way and Boulsworth the other. You get both without a long day out.

Checked Jul 2026

VERY HARD

Boulsworth Hill from Trawden

13.9km · 440m climb · Loop · 14km away

Boulsworth is the whaleback that dominates every view around Trawden, and standing on Lad Law at 517m you look across Pendle, the Dales and, on a clear day, out to the coast.

Checked Jul 2026

HARD

Lunds Tower and Wainmans Pinnacle from Crosshills

8.8km · 250m climb · Loop · 17km away

You get onto the quiet western shoulder of Rombalds Moor, away from the Ilkley crowds, with wide views over Wharfedale one way and Airedale the other for a short, sharp climb.
