Overview

Fantastic views from Hampton Ridge make the short climb on this walk worth the effort. The walk starts at Cadman's Pool, traverses Rakes Bottom into Sloden Inclosure and up to the ridge. We cross Hyde Common and the heath south of Ogdens, then use the bridge over Dockens Water into Broomy Inclosure. Or we may go the other way round, lets decide on the day.
