    The Standedge Trail walk follows the old barge horse route from Marsden across to Diggle and then return via Millstone Edge and Redbrook Reservoir.  
    From Marsden Railway Station the route cuts down through the town and up Old Mount Road. You then follow the first turnpike road, built by Blind Jack Metcalf then head towards Standedge Cutting  and then on to the tunnel end at Diggle. 
    If the sun's shining you can make a detour to Castleshaw Roman Fort and then return along Millstone Edge and head towards Redbrook Reservoir before crossing the A62 and following the base of Pule Hill back to Marsden. 
    The terrain can be muddy underfoot so stout footwear needed. A couple of steep sections.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
