Full description: 

It’s heather time! Let’s go and enjoy the pinks and purples up above H(e)athersage on Eyam Moor. We’ll head up and up through the bracken and heather, and all the way up to William Hill trig point for a lunch stop with a view. From William Hill, we’ll make our way back down with views over Bretton Clough, then down through the woodlands to Hathersage to a pub for a well-earned refreshing drink.

- The 272 bus departs Sheffield Interchange at 10:30 and arrives in Hathersage for 11:10.
