Overview

Starting at Slaggyford station, we join the Pennine Way heading north to Merry Knowe before following old drove roads to The Hill.  We head south from there into Knarsdale and Kirkhaugh before returning to Slaggyford via Barhaugh Park. The route has some sections of rough pasture and numerous stiles, but on a clear day you will be rewarded with splendid views.
