Overview

From Pateley Bridge we have a steep ascent up to Scot Gate Ash, we then walk along to top taking in the views before descending into Wath where we cross the river and ascend to Heathfield where we will have a short break. We drop down to Ashfold Side, pass Providence House and onto Bradstones beck where we have our lunch break. For here we go up to Greenhow hill and take in views at The Coldstones Cut. We return to Patley Bridge through farms, Fish Pond Wood and Sugar Hill.
