Walk Name Hope Valley panoramic circular and ice cream
Description On a good day this walk affords great views of the Hope Valley with its surrounding hills and local edges. Whilst we do not reach the full heights of these there are plenty of ups and downs as we follow valley above the River Noe to Hathersage and back. There will be an opportunity to sample Hope Vale Ice-cream at the farm where it is made.

Mytham Bridge - Shatton - Offerton - Callow Farm - Leadmill Bridge- - Hathersage - North Lees = Greens House - Ridgeway Side - Thorpe Farm - Sickleholme - Bamford Station - Mytham Bridge
A couple of steep ascents and descents but worth it for the views. The ground can be rough, muddy and slippery in places, particularly if wet. Whilst the walk affords fine views, parts can be exposed so please wear/carry suitable clothing for all conditions including adequate footwear.

Note: Route may vary depending on weather conditions.
