Overview

From Danebridge we follow the river before heading up to Whitelee and across fields, crossing the Gritstone Trail before reaching Nettlebeds. From there it’s Wood Cottage, across the Wincle Road and up to the A54. We skirt Hammerton knowl before eventually reaching Wildboarclough where we will have lunch. The return route is past Heild End Farm and Tagslough Hill before a steep descent to Gradbach and a return along the river Dane.
