Overview

From Fairholmes car park we walk along the road and then between road and reservoir before heading up through the woods to Open Hagg. then along the edge and down by Hagg Farm and across the A57. From Haggwater bridge we take paths to Alport Bridge and then across the A57 again before heading up to Alport Farm and then to The Tower at Alport Castles.  Climbing to the top of the ridge we head back towards Fairholmes via Lockerbrook Hostel and the Derwent Dam.
