Full description:
This is the longest section of the Sheffield Country Walk, so make sure to eat something in advance and bring snacks plus water. We start out walking through Greno Woods and come out onto a country lane towards Birley Edge before bending off to Middlewood. After crossing the railway, we head for Worrall. After that, it’s pretty much a straight line along fields towards High Bradfield.
If we struggle for time, we can cut the route short and end at Middlewood, but the aim is to make it all the way to High Bradfield and catch a bus from there.
