A short and sweet ride or walk, National Route 689 connects Meltham on the edge of the Peak District National Park with Lockwood Rail Station in south-west Huddersfield via a dismantled railway line.
This route is the first section of the popular Meltham Greenway - running along a disused railway line for about a kilometre from Cobble Street, near Meltham Morrisons to Huddersfield Road, near Meltham Mills.
It connects with the wonderful Pennine Cycleway, on National Route 68.
