Overview

Our walk takes us through the fields and disused quarries and includes some short sections of road walking. We pass the locally named ‘ Puddingpie Hill ‘ . The lunch stop is at Holymoorside. Unfortunately the local hostelry is closed on that day. Our return leg is again along field footpaths taking us to Brookside and Old Brampton and finally back to Linacre reservoir.
