Overview

From the car park we make our way down to the reservoir embankment which we cross and head up to Scow Hall Farm. From here we head up the fields to reach Top Lane and then into Norwood Forest and follow the tracks before dropping down to reach Prospect Farm. We then cross several fields to reach Lindley Wood Reservoir  and follow the good track to the embankment which we cross and head to Dob Park Bridge. From here we take the footpath to Millhouse Farm then Folly Hall Farm and onto the Six Dales footpath which we follow back to the car park. A lunch stop will be made at a suitable spot along the way.
