(S/E) From Beech Croft Farm campsite entrance, turn left and walk along the road, passing the entrance to reception on your right. Keep on for 1⁄4 mile, passing a series of farm entrances, until you reach a crossroads.
(1) Cross carefully and follow the road opposite (signposted Priestcliffe and Taddington). Walk uphill through the hamlet of Priestcliffe Ditch for 1⁄3 mile; when the road bends right, follow it (the track on the left is your return route).
(2) At the next crossroads, turn left. Follow this single-track road for 1⁄2 mile to Priestcliffe.
(3) Pass a turning on the right, then at Lydgate Farm take the left-hand fork with a footpath sign pointing to Millers Dale. Ignore a footpath sign shortly afterwards pointing off to the right then, at a second footpath sign after 1⁄3 mile, bear left along the track.
(4) At a third footpath sign, this time on the left, bend right, still following the same track, as it starts to descend with views opening up over the Wye valley (the footpath merely cuts a corner). Follow the track round a left-hand bend and past a small limestone outcrop on your left.
(5) When you meet another track (Long Lane) at a T-junction, turn left. After 3⁄4 mile of gradual ascent, you meet the road again. (1) Turn right and retrace your steps through Priestcliffe Ditch. At the crossroads, keep straight on back to Beech Croft Farm campsite. (S/E)
