We are the New Mills Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Please contact the leader to join the walk, this helps the leader and provides your contact details in case of late change. If you then are not able to attend, please cancel with the leader so they are not waiting for you. Thank you.
A mixture of moorland and woodland. The walk will start from the meeting place in Whaley Bridge and set off passing Toddbrook Reservoir before ascending through woodland and moorland. This part of the route passes by Cornhill, Baileys, and Cornfield Farms. On reaching the Gritstone Trail we pass Bowstone Gate to descend to Lights Low continuing past Hampers Wood into Lantern Wood before returning to start via Dissop Head and Whaley Moor.
On the way there will be the option to pause by the reservoir to review the construction work taking place and also to visit the Lantern in Lantern Wood.
Parts of the route will follow quiet country lanes and stony tracks with usual moorland paths.
Toilets and cafe at start / finish.
Meeting in the car park, access via Canal Street (opposite the Jodrell Arms), Whaley Bridge
