This tranquil canal walk offers a scenic stroll along the Diggle Brook, a picturesque waterway surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant wildflowers. The gentle rustle of leaves and chirping of birds create a soothing atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing afternoon amble. The walkway winds its way along the brook, providing ample opportunities to spot local wildlife, including fish swimming in the clear waters and birds flitting between the trees. Benches and picnic areas are scattered along the route, inviting visitors to linger and take in the serene surroundings. As the path unfolds, it reveals charming views of the surrounding countryside, including rolling hills and rustic farmland.
Always a lovely, peaceful walk to clear a busy mind. Path can get a bit muddy but nothing a decent pair of shoes can't cope with!
Lovely walk better when it's sunny lol but a nice canal with a cafe
Ideal walking location for all seasons... it's so pretty even in the rain There's a few spots to rest or to stop for a picnic & plenty of cafes in the area. Local residents are generally very friendly and chatty.
Absolutely beautiful stretch of canal with so much to see the views of saddleworth more in almost every direction with the canal, river and train lines all running so close by, many little detours will show you some beautiful hidden gems from the past old by passes and train tunnels hidden away and lots of farm animals and wildlife to see. The best chippy I have ever eaten is a short walk from the canal and grandpa Greene's ice cream for dessert makes for a perfect lunch break. There are a few play areas and parks along this walk which is good if you have children or dogs.
Nice walk by the canal from Saddleworth up to Diggle nice and flat for people with mobility problems,lots of dog walkers out and about and quite a few narrow boats cruising past at a nice leasure pace. Left the canal at Diggle and walked back down the Rd into Saddleworth village, loads of little coffee shops and pubs to finish off a nice walk and its only a couple of miles.
Always a good walk in all weathers. A bit muddy in places today after all the rain. Grandpa Greene's always a good place for a drink or ice cream!
