Overview

Along lanes and footpaths to Upper Lye, then more footpaths to Honeyhole, Gripeness, and Darky Dale (where we might see snowdrops). Returning via Bedstone and Mynd Farm.  Some good views on this quiet and pleasant walk, one short steepish hill on the way out and then another on the way back.

The area around Darky Dale has long been been famous for snowdrops, but if the sheep have got there first then they will all have been eaten!
