Overview

This is a moderate walk of just over 11 miles but there are a couple of quite strenuous climbs. It is in that beautiful part of Derbyshire just south of Stocksbridge and starts with circuits of both More Hall and Broomhead reservoirs. We then walk over the moors to High Bradfield where we have lunch outside the church. There will be an opportunity for a pub stop after lunch before walking back across the moors to the start.
