Marsden moor

 Marsden moor (and surrounding areas)

just a few pictures of various parts of Marsden moor we have come across on our walks The moor has been affected by fires. Dozens of firefighters were required to put out a blaze in 2011. A fire in February 2019, during an unseasonal spell of warm weather, was described by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service as one of the biggest moorland fires it had ever had to deal with and deep underneath is the famous Standage tunnels and canal (https://undergroundwarriorsuk.blogspot.com/2013/12/red-brook-engine-house-standege-tunnels.html)great for walking running or even cycling Be aware of Shooter nab on Bin moor if the red flags are flying stick to the paths these are just random pictures taken without any tunnels or buildings
