Notes	An upland valley in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park, running from north of Glossop to south-west of Holmfirth. The valley follows the course of the River Etherow and is characterised by moorland, woodland, and a chain of reservoirs constructed during the 19th century to supply water to Greater Manchester. The surrounding high moors are cut by numerous cloughs and streams, producing several notable waterfalls, including Middle Black Clough Waterfall and the striking cascades of Torside Clough. The Longdendale Trail, following the route of the former Woodhead railway line, runs through the valley.
