Overview

This is a pretty walk with a few gentle hills, reservoir paths and quiet lanes.

We walk gradually up and over to Morehall Reservoir, then along Broomhead Reservoir dam wall before returning via a lovely path at the side of Morehall Res, then a reserve, lanes and paths to Swinnock Hall, then through Glen Howe Park and back to Wharncliffe Side.

Only one small stile, the rest are gates. There is a small muddy section near the end of walk.
