Overview

From Ecclesall Road we gently ascend the attractive Limb Valley to Ringinglow where we cross to Fulwood Lane to the head of Porter Clough. We then descend into the Clough and follow the River Porter to Forge Dam, continuing through Hanging Water, Bingham Park and Endcliffe Park to Hunters Bar. Here there is an option of catching a bus or continuing for a further mile along Sharrow Vale and through the historic General Cemetery back into the centre of Sheffield.
