When we arrived the chef had already left. However the fabulous bar person "Sam" went out of her way and made us hot sandwiches and chips. She was fabulous and the food was delicious

View of Ashworth Moor Reservoir and Turf Moor Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

The A680 moorland road from Rochdale in the southeast climbs up and over Ashworth Moor and past the reservoir and then over Turf Moor before droping back down towards Edenfield.
Great views and fun riding in either direction.
