Overview

We walk along the southern shore of Broomhead Reservoir and up through Wigtwizzle Wood before descending to cross Ewden Beck. From there it's a steady ascent to the ridge from where there are excellent views of the Ewden Valley, we walk to Bolsterstone and then downhill back to the start point.

The postcode is 'nearby'. W3W is more accurate. Turn off the A6102 opposite Ewden Water Treatment Works (signposted Bolsterstone). Take the LEFT road, which has a big sign for More Hall Reservoir, and continue for well over a mile along the Yorkshire Water permissive road, past More Hall Reservoir to the spillway for Broomhead Reservoir where you'll see the walk leaders. Vergeside parking.
