We are the Sheffield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk has fields, woods, brooks, wild flowers and historic halls. It's longer than usual at 14.5 miles, but there is a break off point at 9 miles. There are shortish ascents throughout the walk. From Unstone we climb gradually to Bull Close Farm then cross the A61 by a foot bridge to Monk Wood. We pass Lees Wood and go down Dobbin Lane. After Holmesfield and Holmesfield Park Wood, we go to Rod Moor Rd. We pass Bowshaw Farm and then Bowshaw Inn, where you can catch a 43 bus back to Sheffield. We walk through Coal Aston, then into Owler Carr wood. After Troway, we pass Apperknowle Airfield to reach Summerley and then Unstone. No dogs as livestock in fields.
