Overview

A high level walk with great views over Ladybower Reservoir.

Catch the 257 bus at 10:00 from Sheffield Interchange, stand D3; leader will get on the bus at the back of Atkinson's. The walk starts at 10:30 from the layby before Cutthroat Bridge.

The route takes us along Bamford Edge and down into Hathersage via Greens House and Brookfield Manor. Click on the small map icon to expand it.

There are ups and downs on a couple of steep banks, one steeper ascent on a path through bracken (advise gaiters or overtrousers if wet), and a more gradual ascent to the high point of Bamford Edge, followed by a long descent. The paths are stony underfoot in places and some road walking is included. There are 4 stiles, one a bit tricky.

It would be pushing it to make it to Hathersage for the 272 bus at 14:51 so train back at 15:46 is more likely.

Please contact the leader in advance if you have not walked with the group before.

No dogs.
