Sheffield Walking Group

A1 (7 miles): From the east side of Baslow we walk into Chatsworth Park and towards the house. We climb up into the woods at to the east of house, eventually emerging from the woods to find views of the hills south of Chatsworth. We then drop down the hill to the River Derwent, and follow the river back through Chatsworth Park finishing back at Baslow.

C2 (12 miles): Circuit taking in the reservoirs and high ground around Goyt Valley with highlights including the Cat and Fiddle and Shining Tor.

A1 (7 miles): From Bamford train station we cross the Derwent next to the weir at Bamford Mills, before going on to the garden centre. We then walk through Shatton, and to Hope. From Hope we swing round and head back to Bamford train station on the North side of the Hope Valley.

B2 (9 miles): From Crowden Car park the walk takes the Pennine Way up to Laddow Rocks before climbing onto the desolate lump of Black Hill. Truly an abhorrent place in the rain. It's then a nice wander back over the moors down to Crowden. We'll enjoy the Flouch Inn on the way home.

B2 (11 miles): A medium walk to the White Peak village of Longnor which is famous for its cafe with reeeaaally nice cakes. We start in Sparklow, following the High Peak Trail for a bit before a gentle ascent to East Sterndale. We pass the breath taking scenery around Parkhouse Hill and Chrome Hill and then approach Longnor. After our lunch stop here (and it would be wrong not to have cake for dessert) we continue with a gentle walk east along the River Dove before we join the High Peak Trail again which takes us back to Sparklow. Swift drink at the Royal Oak before we head back to Sheffield.

C3 (17 miles): We will head west from Hathersage skirting the flanks of Offerton Moor to the hamlet of Shatton from where we will strike north to Win Hill and then onto the classic Lose Hill – Mam Tor ridge. Its then a quick bog hop from Lords Seat to Brown Knoll before descending to Chinley via Mount Famine and catching the train back to Hathersage/Sheffield. Please note this walk contains more than 1km of vertical height gain.

A3 (7 miles): A brisk walk from Eyam which quickly takes in the open viewpoint of Sir William Hill (that'll involve some climbing), the gentle dale of Bretton Clough and through Abney Clough to Abney (another nice little climb) back through the other end of Bretton Clough (climbing down and back out) and a tour of Eyam Edge to finish.
Some great White Peak scenery and a decent energetic stroll packed into just seven miles.
Note: access land restrictions mean that dogs cannot be taken on this route.

B1 (9 miles): From the end of Redmires Road we head to Stanage Pole and along
Stanage Edge to Higger Tor and Toads Mouth for a leisurely lunchstop
at Longshaw Visitor Centre before returning along Houndkirk Road and
over White Stones.

C3 (17 miles): Starting from Hope we climb up onto Lose Hill before working our way clockwise around Edale via Mam Tor, Rushup Edge, the delightful Brown Knoll, the southern edge of Kinder, and Win Hill.
