This is a very picturesque walk. There are several different routes you can take depending on what sort of walk you want to do. Dogs are allowed both on and off leads, but I keep mine on due to there being some long drops down into the waterfall and river. There is a tea room which is open most days. Parking is free but the road in is very bumpy so take it steady.
Nature Reserve
This walk has been marked as a nature reserve. Dogs are usually welcome however restrictions may apply.
Each nature reserve has its own rules regarding dog walking, and some may not allow dogs. Kindly keep an eye out for the relevant signs within the reserve or visit the reserve's website before your visit for more information.
In most nature reserves, it's kindly requested to keep dogs on a lead at all times. Allowing dogs to roam off-lead can create issues or cause distress to livestock and wildlife.
If you see other visitors, please put your dog on lead whilst you are walking near them. Nature reserves are for the benefit of wildlife and frequently host educational visits.
Some nature reserves have dog poo bins, but if you can’t find one please take the waste home with you.

Lovely place for both two legged and four legged walkers. Great walks and the most friendly tea rooms ever. Great food and so dog friendly . -

Really lovely walk with the added bonus of the Healey Dell Tea Rooms which allows dogs. I parked on Station Road, and there's a path that takes you to a pretty waterfall at/nr Healey Dell Fairies Chapel. Keep walking and you get to the impressive Viaduct rising out of the forest. The tea room is beyond that. Lots of little paths, and shallow water for the dog. I had to use my online maps as my sense of direction is terrible! -

I walked the old railway line from Syke common to Healey Dell. Lovely walk very flat but is muddy in places. Healey Dell is lovely and there is a tea room open Fri-Sun inclusive. The old railway line goes up to Whitworth
