Overview

A walk with a real mix of scenery from low level walking next to Errwood Reservoir, exploring the ruins of Errwood Hall, then a big uphill to reach Shining Tor summit with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills and Goyt Valley.  From here we drop back down into Stake Clough and pick up the River Goyt heading back walking along the far side of the Reservoir.
