Overview

From the car park we make our way down to the embankment which we cross and head up to Scrow Hall Farm.  From here we head up though the fields to reach Top Lane.

Then into Norwood Forest and following tracks before dropping down to reach Prospect Farm. We then take downhill paths through fields to Lindley Wood reservoir.

A short walk round the perimeter path brings us to the road bridge which we cross and then head to Dob Park bridge. From here a short uphill road walk takes us to the path which we follow through Millhouse & Folly Hall Farms and onto the Six Dales Trail footpath which we follow back to the car park.

A lunch stop will be made at a convenient point along the way
