The Pennine Way crossing a small valley, Saddleworth The old public footpath is a little way upstream, and the caption 'fords' appears on OS maps. The Pennine Way is evidently on a better route, and crosses two streams by stone slab bridges, with a paved path between them. The steps lead down to the first bridge.
