About

Hadfield East and Tintwistle sit along the River Etherow in the Longdendale valley within High Peak. The area is threaded by the Glossop rail line, with Hadfield station linking local streets to Manchester and Glossop, and by the A628 Woodhead route that crosses the ridge to the east. The valley contains the Longdendale chain of reservoirs, and the Longdendale Trail follows the former Woodhead railway alignment, providing a continuous path beside the water. Housing, small shops and former mill buildings cluster close to the river and railway, while fields rise steeply from village streets.

Tintwistle village and Hadfield’s eastern neighbourhood share community facilities: a parish church, village hall and primary school, pubs and sports pitches used by local clubs. Land management here reflects the river and reservoirs, with flood-control structures and reservoir embankments shaping routes and rights of way. Walking the trail reveals the sequence of linked reservoirs and the masonry of railway bridges that once carried steam services over the valley; these features remain part of everyday movement and local history.
