Overview

This is a high level walk from High Bradfield to Wisewood, with fine views on a clear day over the Loxley Valley and into Bradfield Dale.

The route will be from High Bradfield, passing Castle Hill, Cliffe House Farm, Holdworth, Low Ash, Loxley Common, and finishing at Wisewood. Relatively easy, as it starts high and ends low, though there are some undulations on the way, before descending gradually over Loxley Common and taking a short foot path into Wisewood. There are a couple of old stone stiles. Expect wet and muddy conditions underfoot.
