Wade Wood and Luddenden Dean
Our view
Pass through the stile at the bottom of the car park and descend the walled lane beyond, to cross Wade Bridge over Luddenden Brook. Several routes diverge from the opposite bank: take the broad, timber-edged path that climbs gently ahead-right. At a junction, bear left on the ascending Calderdale Way. At a second junction, head up steps to your right, signed ‘Saltonstall’, onto a well-worn earthy path that ascends to a gate through a fence in a field corner. Through this bear slightly right for 20yds (18m) to climb a stile, being careful not to dislodge loose wall stones.
Cross the next field diagonally to its top-right corner. Pass through the gate there and maintain direction across the next field, to pass through an open gateway. Walk parallel to the top-left wall through the next field to a wooden gate in its top corner. After that and the stile beyond turn left, ascending the final field, to exit through a small gate in the top-left corner. Ascend a rough driveway to a metalled road.
