Overview

A day that encompasses moorland and woodland walking. Starting from Swallerton Gate, we’ll strike out towards Bowerman’s Nose before coming off the moor to walk through woodland near Becka Falls and then wide open views from Trendlebere Down and Black Hill before returning over Becka Brook and Holwell Down. 
This information will be updated nearer the time so check again before the walk.

Bring a drink for our mid-morning coffee stop and something to eat for our lunch stop.

Please book in advance by texting walk leader. Please don’t email.
