Help connect Stalybridge
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Stalybridge’s Slow Ways.

This is a pleasant canal walk between two stations on the Manchester to Huddersfield railway line....
RGW
A pleasant walk mainly along the towpath by the Huddersfield Narrow Canal on the edge of the Peak District. Very tranquil on a winters afternoon. A long tunnel - take a torch!...
DerbyshireBBguide
The walk - mainly along the canal towpath - was a good alternative to walking along roads....
DerbyshireBBguide
The towpath is not as accessible as some - narrow in places (particularly under bridges) and some steps. Access to the towpath from the B6170 at the Ashton end can be easily missed....
RGW
This route was basically a nice walk along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, and included several locks, a pylon astride the canal, some interesting canal and industrial relics, and most excitingly, a canal tunnel to negotiate!...

It is fine, and encouraged, to review your own routes, and you’ll be able to get this one a snail, when my friend has also reviewed it! We walked this on a dull day towards the end of a wet winter, and although there were some puddles, it was not muddy....
Mary Oz
As this one stands, it's still got quite a lot of suburban pavement, but Cheetham Park and Hyde Park make very nice diversions and the section past Hough Hill has quite broad views (or it did in January, I think if the trees are in leaf you'd just see the trees)....

RGW added Ashsta two, a new walk from Ashton-under-Lyne to Stalybridge
Walk this routeThis route is fine, it consists mainly of on-road walking along quiet residential streets with a pleasant section through the edge of a park. There is an alternative off-road route utilising the Ashton canal tow path....
RGW
The initial climb out of Stalybridge is a bit of a slog - it's a pavement beside a quiet residential road, then a turn onto a 'restricted byway' which is steeper. Additionally when I did this route, it had rained heavily the day before and one path section in the Stalyhill area was just a stream of running water....
Lauren G
Easy pavement walking, except on Currier Lane where cobblestones may be a problem for wheelchairs or prams. Going through Stamford Park was a nice idea....
Lauren G
The route is relatively easy to follow, although we did get a bit lost on the way up to Luzley Road....
