Through the square window....
Cows in the field across the valley seen through the window of a ruined farm in Hslingden Grane.
The Grane valley has an intriguing air of desolation which still haunts the many ruined farmsteads, which were abandoned when the reservoirs were built to supply drinking water to the growing industrial towns.
Today the picturesque reservoirs of Calf Hey, Ogden and Holden Wood and the surrounding moorland offer visitors some excellent walking routes. Clough Head information centre is open throughout the year, with a permanent exhibition on the local and natural history of the area, ideas for other places to visit in the West Pennine Moors and an insight into the water business. Refreshments are also available.
