This a nice and easy walk to do if you've only got a couple of hours spare for a stroll.

It starts in the car park of Saddleworth Tourist Information Centre from where you turn left and proceed up High Street.

Uppermill High Street

After 50 metres turn left up Moorgate Street then turn right onto the canal towpath.

Huddersfield Narrow Canal

Walk for about 10-15 minutes until you reach the aquaduct then veer right back on the road. Cross the road onto Brownhill Lane and follow it all the way up until you reach High Stile Lane.

Follow this small road all the way until you go past the church and end up at the Church Inn. This is a great pub for a pint as it brews it's own beer, I'd recommend the St George, a sweet and hoppy ale.

The bar in the Church Inn

After one (or more) drinks head back to the church, take the road to the left and take the first footpath on the left. Follow this path for about 400 metres until you reach a yellow-gravelled path heading left. Follow this path all the way back to Uppermill until you hit Church Road, turn right and you'll end up back in the town centre.
