Welcome to Marsden, a pennine village rich in character offering great walking experiences and a wealth of history and heritage as well as local produce, locally brewed ales, unique gifts and charming places to eat, visit and stay.
Walkers Are Welcome towns and villages are places that have something special to offer walkers.
There are almost 100 Walkers are Welcome towns and villages across Britain.
Marsden is an ideal walking location: located midway between the conurbations of Manchester and Leeds and situated close to the northern edge of the Derbyshire Peak District, near to the Pennine Way.
We have over 60 miles of public footpaths available over a wide variety of terrain ranging from ancient tracks and lanes, canal towpaths and reservoirs to open rugged moorland offering fantastic views of the upper Colne Valley and beyond: there's something to suite all tastes, interests and abilities.
