Overview

From the car park we cross fields to reach Eastby, after a short road walk we take the steep ascent to Eastby Moor. We cross the moor to reach Lower Barden Reservoir, we then take a track to reach Upper Barden Reservoir. From here we cross Embsay Moor to reach the top of the Crag. We then have a steep descent to Embasy Reservoir, we then return to the car park across fields.
