WHITWELL MOOR from MIDDUP
Places remaining: 15
Route Description
This is a 6.5 mile walk to the northwest of Sheffield and on the edge of the Peak District. It offers lovely views towards the Peak District and the Upper Don Valley. Expected walking time including a lunch stop will be 3.5 hours.
N.B. AS THERE IS A WALKERS SOCIAL ON THE SAME EVENING THIS WALK WILL START AT THE EARLIER TIME OF 10AM.
This walk starts by following a flat trail through woods along the old Langsett railway before following tracks beside Underbank Reservoir. We cross the dam wall, before gradually ascending for 1.5 miles along farm tracks and moorland to Whitwell Moor. From here there are extensive views towards the Derbyshire Moors and over South Yorkshire.
After lunch, the return walk is downhill as we go through a wooded area before descending along narrow paths, via Wind Hill Knoll for some lovely views of the upper Don Valley. For a short walk it has a good variety of landscape.
