Overview

Meet at Longshaw Visitor Centre car park for a Dark Peak adventure. We experience a mix of moorland and woodland with stunning views of the Burbage Brook Valley, Higger Tor, Sheffield and beyond. The route takes us from Longshaw up onto Burbage Moor. We cross the Houndkirk Road and then make our way via Houndkirk Moor, Blacka Moor and Cowsick back to our starting point.
