About Hey Head

Hey Head occupies a rugged fold of the Rossendale landscape, where the earth rises in sharp, rhythmic swells against the pale northern sky. It lies 1.8 miles east-south-east of Rawtenstall (from Rawtenstall: bearing 105°T, OS grid SD 839 219), and is situated north-north-east of Cowpe village. Stone-built dwellings here hold the persistent damp of the hills, their grey facades reflecting the shifting moods of a climate that moves swiftly across the moorland. To the east-north-east, the shadows of Siss Clough deepen into a hollow of ferns and rushing water, carving a singular path through the gritstone bedrock. The wind carries a faint, metallic cold from the higher ground of Acre Hill, grounding the horizon in a harsh, enduring beauty. Residents of Hey Head often traverse the nearby footpaths toward Edgeside Park, where the manicured green provides a stark contrast to the wild, unkempt heather of the surrounding slopes. Industry once defined the pulse of these valleys, yet now a quiet stillness reigns, save for the persistent song of the brooks threading through the dark ravines. Such is the character of Hey Head, a place defined by the heavy weight of the Pennine earth and the clarity of the light that washes over its steep, climbing streets.
