Walk Name | Blacka Moor: celebrating Ethel Haythornthwaite and JG Graves |
Description | This linear walk starts in Endcliffe Vale where Ethel Haythornthwaite and JG Graves lived before we walk up the Porter, over Houndkirk Moor, across Blacka Moor down into Totley for refreshers in the Cross Scythes. This walk is mainly on Sheffield land that Ethel Haythornthwaite loved and protected, and JG Graves loved and bought to ensure ordinary folks can do this walk over 90 years later. Mick has lots of info about their work and gifts to our walking and our countryside. And Blacka Moor is a delight. 10 miles of deep joy. |

Additional Information | Hunters Bar is well connected to public transport. If you’re coming to town by car then parking on Riverdale Road by the park is free. The 97 and 218 buses connect the Cross Scythes back to town. Dress for the weather and bring your lunch and drinks. I’m choosing boots, and I always carry my poles. |
