Other walks in the area

Rivelin Valley from Malin Bridge

Departure from Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

This walk explores the Rivelin Valley which lies to the west of Sheffield. The route includes a short section within the Peak District National Park. This walk goes out from Malin Bridge along the top of the valley side and comes back along the river.

Worrall, Sheffield to Combes Farm round

Departure from Bradfield (South Yorkshire)

A short walk in a rural area close to Sheffield along footpaths. Reasonably signposted but care is needed to keep on track. Apt to be muddy. Sheep, horses and sometimes cattle are likely to be encountered.

Stanage & Ughill Moor

Departure from Sheffield (South Yorkshire)

This lengthy Peak District walk demonstrates the variation in countryside that makes Sheffield such a pleasant place from which to walk. It includes reservoirs, great views, a pretty valley and wild moorland.

Bamford & Stanage Edges from Rod Side

Departure from Bradfield (South Yorkshire)

This Peak District walk explores two of the gritstone edges in the eastern sector of the National Park. The walk generally follows well defined paths and tracks and offers some fine views from elevated positions along the way. After heavy rain do expect some boggy ground under foot along some sections of the route.

Back Tor, Bradfield Moors and Reservoirs

Departure from Bradfield (South Yorkshire)

This Peak District walk explores the moorland and resevoirs that lie between Ladybower and Bradfield. Walking is generally good but do expect some short boggy sections after heavy rain.

Broomhead & Howden Moors

Departure from Bradfield (South Yorkshire)

This Peak District walk explores the moors to the east of the Derwent Valley Reservoirs. Including some quiet paths and tracks, the route also visits the popular summit of Back Tor and the monument to the Lost Lad. This valley is particularly impressive and feels quite remote - considering how close it is to the thousands of people that are circuiting around Ladybower.
