Overview

This 10.5 mile fairly easy walk starts from Longnor Market Place at 10am.  We walk down to the River Manifold then follow the river to Brund, over the fields to Sheen then to Hartington where we will have lunch and you will get time to visit the cheese shop. We climb up the hill from the village then set off across fields walking parallel to the River Dove, past Pilsbury Castles, Crowdecote, Green Lane and back up the hill to Longnor. About 1200 ft of ascent and some nice views…weather permitting. The Market Place gets busy but there is roadside parking in the village.Bring food and drink.
