Walk Name Hidden Gems **WALK CANCELLED**
Description We head up from the car park and on to Mam Tor (views) and then head down the ridge to Hollins Cross where we take the path past Mam Farm, along the broken road, on to Knowlegates Farm and then pass by Speedwell Cavern on the path heading towards Castleton. Not long after Speedwell we head up the gorge and on to the top of Long Cliff - this isn't a scramble but you will be using your hands to get up the gorge (short-sharp climb) Please do not let this put you off - the views are fantastic on the top & I've led the group up here for the past two years. We will stop here for coffee & the views (the hidden gem 1 ).

We now head along the top towards Winnats Head Farm & Windy Knoll then cross the road & head up the lane passing Rowter Farm & head for the Limestone Way, crossing Old Moor and heading for hidden gem 2 ( a trig with an 8 seater bench all around it ). Lunch stop & views.

After lunch we head over access land to pick up the path back to the Limestone Way and head back towards Oxlow House/Windy Knoll & back to Mam Nick and our cars.
