Standedge Tunnel portal
At Diggle the Huddersfield Narrow Canal ends abruptly at the hillside and enters Britain's longest canal tunnel. On the map the waterway simply stops, a striking detail at the parish's northern end.

Tabula
Saddleworth is not one town but a cluster of villages on the western slope of the Pennines: Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield, Denshaw and others. On a map they appear as small knots of streets linked by winding valley roads. Between them lie fields and pasture divided by dry-stone walls, and to the east the open moor rises steeply.
The River Tame runs south along the valley floor. Beside it runs the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, which disappears at Diggle into the Standedge Tunnel, the longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel in Britain. Above Greenfield, reservoirs such as Dovestone sit in a bowl of moorland. Their clean outlines are among the few hard shapes in a landscape otherwise drawn by its contours.
Historically part of Yorkshire and now within Greater Manchester, the parish keeps a strong identity of its own, not least through its brass bands and the Whit Friday marches. A Saddleworth map poster captures that divided loyalty well. It shows a handful of village centres, each distinct, held together by a river, a canal and the high ground that frames them all.
At Diggle the Huddersfield Narrow Canal ends abruptly at the hillside and enters Britain's longest canal tunnel. On the map the waterway simply stops, a striking detail at the parish's northern end.
Dovestone and its neighbouring reservoirs lie in the hills above Greenfield. Their dams and shorelines form bold, simple shapes against the loose contour lines of the surrounding moor.
Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross and the other villages each form their own small street pattern. Country lanes link them across the valley sides instead of one continuous town.

Cur Saddleworth
For anyone who grew up in one of the villages, or has walked the moors above them, this map fits a whole parish into one frame. It suits a move away from the area, a local wedding, or a quiet reminder of the valley on a wall far from the Pennines.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be edited, so you can name a single village or add a date that matters. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, then download the HD files for $9 or order a matte print, framed if you like.
