Start Time 9:30 am - EARLY START
Walk Name Grindleford/Burbage/Longshaw
Description A beautiful walk around the Grindleford area climbing from Upper Padley to the Upper
Burbage Valley, following the Sheffield Country Walk down to the picturesque Longshaw
Estate and walking through the enchanting and mystical Padley Woods back to Grindleford.
Part of the walk takes us along the back of Millstone Edge where the views across the Hope
Valley on a clear day are stunning.
The walk is fairly strenuous. There is a short but very steep climb at the start up to Bole Hill
Quarry which is particularly challenging - thereafter the terrain is undulating and rocky
underfoot but not too demanding. No stiles.
The ground is very uneven in places and may be muddy and slippery so please ensure you
have suitable footwear.
