Full description:

A very varied route with some quite steep bits. You’re in for being reasonably close to a castle at some point as well as lots of caves, a romp down a ravine, an abandoned road, and a large hill. Lots of places in Castleton to load up on food or enjoy a nice pint after the walk. Anyone wanting a longer walk can add 5k by getting the train to Hope and walking from there or going that way at the end.

Public transport or car sharing options:

You can get the 272 bus to Castleton leaving Sheffield Interchange at 9:45, or get the train to Hope and then the 173 to Castleton.

Be prepared:

Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year. A waterproof is always advised, as well as plenty of food and water. Please bring sun protection if required (sun hat, sunglasses, sun cream, etc). Further information on what to bring can be found on our website here: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/be-prepared
