Overview

Undulating walk around classic limestone scenery. From the charming village of Monyash we'll visit the disused Magpie lead mine, with its well preserved workings, then cross pastures to the village of Taddington. After lunch we'll climb to Sough Top, one of the highest points in the area at 438m, before heading back along the Limestone Way back to the start.
