Overview

A 6.5 mile walk from Werneth Low Quarry car park.  The route will take us past the war memorial and down over Idle Hill.  From there will we follow field paths and tracks passing Beacom Houses, Hyde's Farm, Near Cloughside and Springwood Farm to Greave and then Back O The Hill before passing Birches Farm on the way back to the Quarry Car Park.  There are a number of short ascents and descents on this walk and sections of the route are likely to be muddy, particularly after wet weather.

Please contact the walk leader directly for more information about this walk.  (Lesley - 07856 096540)
