Roman Road on Blackstone Edge
The Ordnance Survey Map marks this as a Roman Road, which is probably correct.
The cobbles however are more likely to hark back to Packhorse Routes.
The scene looks west down towards Littleborough, somewhat furled in mist, although I note that grassy vegetation is beginning to smother the cobblestones which were far more exposed on my previous visit.
The Pennine Way National Trail adopts this road as far as the gate, where it turns right to follow Broad Head Drain
