About

Norden East and Bagslate Moor form a distinct upland area on the western fringes of Rochdale. The landscape is defined by open moorland, with Bagslate Moor itself providing expansive views across the borough and towards the Pennine hills. Residential streets in Norden East are arranged on slopes leading up to this rough, heather-covered terrain. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing and older stone properties, with local amenities centred along Edenfield Road.

A notable feature is the presence of the Rochdale Golf Club, whose fairways are integrated into the moorland scenery. The land has a history of quarrying and farming, with old stone walls and field boundaries fragmenting the open spaces. Walking routes from here connect directly to the Pennine Bridleway, emphasising its position as a gateway to wider rural footpaths. The overall atmosphere is one of a residential suburb transitioning into exposed, high-level ground.
