Overview

This walk takes us up over fields and woods to climb heather clad Houndkirk Moor. Having crossed the moor, we return via an ancient track before crossing Totley Moss. Breath-taking views at many points. 3 stiles.

Your walk Leader will be taking a late lunch at the (dog friendly) Crown Inn. If you wish to join us let me know in good time as pre-booking is essential. Cricket lovers may like to enjoy a pint after the walk whilst watching willow hit leather from the tables outside The Cricket Inn.
