Marsden Walkers Are Welcome

Marsden Walkers Are Welcome We’re often out surveying and clearing paths, and sometimes we lead walks - and run a walking festival!

We meet in Marsden Liberal Club at 7.30 on the first Monday of the month. Come along if you want to join in or just interested in what we do. Welcome to Marsden, a pennine village rich in character offering great walking experiences and a wealth of history and heritage as well as local produce, locally brewed ales, unique gifts and charming places to eat, visit and stay.

We had a great Friday Wind Down Walk last night with a lovely group, some old friends, some new.
This walk took in part of our Intake Head walk and saw us walking through ancient (medieval) woodland above the Wessenden Valley and then out to great views and wide skies.
And of course back to the pub for those that wanted to, for food and drinks and a nice social start to the weekend.
Keep an eye out for next month's walk when it's announced. These always start at Marsden train station, set off at 6.15pm and usually take 90 minutes or so.
See you next time!
