Nettles on the TransPennine Trail The TransPennine Trail mostly follows the line of the former Godley to Apethorn Railway. Here the main line tracks to the south side of a clump of trees near Swains Valley. The north side is a path for horse riders but in recent years it has became a barely usable quagmire. Now abundant nettles are spreading across.

The TransPennine Trail follows the line of the former Godley to Apethorn railway. For much of its length there is a metalled path for cyclists and walkers and a separate bridleway alongside. Much of the bridleway is now an unusable quagmire so riders are having to make use of the cycleway.
