We are the Sheffield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The A walk is 11 miles starting at Low Mill. It follows the reverse route to the B walk along the Farndale valley through the daffodils then steeply ascends the hillside through fields and a track up to Rutland Rigg with beautiful views across the valley. At West Gill Head it goes gradually down the hillside to Horn End. Here it turns away from Low Mill to continue towards Gillamoor. The route goes quite steeply up the hillside to an area of moorland and disused quarry workings, through fields around Harland to join a minor road. After a short distance along the road we turn onto a grassy track leading to Faddell Rigg and the road between Low Mill and Gillamoor. There's then a short ascent up the road into Gillamoor where the coach will pick the A party up to go into Pickering.
We leave Sheffield by coach from the top of Howard Street at 8a.m. to reach Low Mill around 10.15 a.m. There are toilets and refreshments at the start of the walk. The coach will pick us up at the end of the walk at Gillamoor to take us into Pickering. We will leave Pickering at 6p.m. to arrive back in Sheffield at around 8p.m.
