Good places for birdwatching in rossendale

Hi Sarfraz -

One that immediately comes to mind is Plunge, more correctly called the Dearden valley, at Edenfield.

Assuming you can navigate to Edenfield the path starts about half-a-mile down the Rochdale road. This map will help:

You can walk right up the valley to Scout Moor Res, Whittle Pike, Waugh's Well.
People get a fair mix of birds from woodland ones low down to moorland ones along the upper slopes.

Hi
If you could join us for a Bird Race you will get to know a number of sites.
Hope to see you at one of our meetings - next one is on the 17th.
Cheers
Ian
