With the difficulties of the terrain you might wonder what there is to say that is positive. Plenty. First of all the view. You are high up with great views of the surrounding hills. Secondly the peace. Though you are close to the A624 the 5 foot tall stone wall the surrounds the CL on three sides blocks most of the traffic noise. You can hear the red grouse on Laygatehead Moor above the CL. Thirdly the CL is maintained to a high standard. The grass was low when we arrived but was still cut when we were there, the bins were emptied regularly. Finally you can really get away from it all by going onto the moor above the CL. The grazed fields climb up from the CL so you can only see the peak of the moorland in the distance. Mr and Mrs Mellor permit CL users to walk through the farmyard to a gate at the edge of the moor and only 100 m from the bridle path the crosses the moor to Kinder Reservoir and beyond to the Pennine Way and Kinder Scout. Even on the busiest of days in the Peaks you’ll only see a handful of walkers on the bridleway. Mrs Mellor was very welcoming pointing out several interesting walks and kindly offering to lend us a map.
