Route Details
GM Ringway 13 Bury - Bromley Cross 2024
Highlights include:
- Riverside walking along the Irwell with views, if you're lucky, of passing steam trains
- The delightful Holcombe Brook in its narrow tree-lined valley
- A gradual ascent of Holcombe Hill topped by the famous Peel Tower, offering stunning views across the West Pennines and Manchester
- Semi-ancient woodlands and a waterfall in the peaceful Redisher Woods
- Affetside village with its ancient cross and hilltop location on a Roman road
- An optional circuit of Jumbles Reservoir.
Please note that this route has been revised (in September 2022) to take advantage of better paths on the two descents from Holcombe Hill and from Affetside. Even so, you will still need to take special care as you descend into Redisher Woods, especially on the final section above the waterfall. The alternative route shown, while longer, features a gentler descent and lovely views over the peaceful Holcombe valley.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
