About trip

7.8 mile (4 hour) circular walk starting from Padfield uphill along Blackshaw Clough to Torside Castle (just a mound, not worth the trek) then past grouse butts to follow narrow winding path along Clough Edge and a steepish, rugged descent to Torside reservoir. Then a flat walk  back along the LongendaleTrail avoiding cyclists to return the to Peel Arms, Padfield. Good choice of food at the pub and selection of cask beers. Excellent varied panoramic views.
