| Tintwistle was once a sleepy little village at the bottom of Longendale, but now has the Manchester - Sheffield A628 road thundering through and a substantial estate of newer houses has been built below the original village, doubling or trebling its size. Though there is little of interest in Tintwistle itself, it is a good base from which to explore the Longendale valley.
The old village is perched on the hillside above Bottoms Reservoir, the last of the Longendale reservoir chain. The main road now bypasses the old cvillage entre, which retains much of its old charm with rows of old cottages, a Methodist Chapel and a pub, the Bull Inn. |
