Overview

A walk with David visiting the Star circle, Middleton Top (toilets) and Middleton, great views on a clear day!

I have called this walk, although shorter than normal, strenuous, as there are some parts which are quite steep, especially The Ascent to the Stars! Nearly all the walk is clearly defined paths and tracks.  Dogs on Leads please.

4.2 mile, three stiles. Some paths are Limestone and could be slippery if wet. Three wood stiles, slippery if wet. Three busy roads to cross B5035 twice and Middleton Main Street, take care, good sight lines. Some cattle pastures, but no cattle seen on my recce.
