The Rossendale Way
6The Rossendale Way is currently being re-way marked in bright green and yellow signs. A group of volunteers from the Rural Rossendale Trust are dedicating their time and energy to making this 45 mile circular route, around the boundary of Rossendale, easier to navigate for walkers. So far around 650 way markers have been 'screwed and glued' around the route. The Rural Rossendale Trust have organised a 10 mile walk which takes in part of the Rossendale Way leaving Clough Head Visitor Centre, Grane Road Haslingden on 24th September 2016 at 10.00 am.
Reinstating the Rossendale Way commemorative Stone
In 1985 a stone, commemorating the opening of the Rossendale Way, was erected close to 'Top of Leach', the highest point in Rossendale. At some point afterwards the stone toppled over and the face has been concealed for many years.
2015 was the 30 anniversary of the opening of the Rossendale Way and to coincide with this the Rural Rossendale Trust volunteers set about reinstating the stone to its former glory.
