Bamford from Offerton, Derbyshire
Date: Sunday, 22nd December 2024
Start time: 10:00
Grade: Moderate
Distance: 9.5 miles
Walk description
From Mytham Bridge, we begin a steady climb to the Shatton Moor tower taking in fine views over the Hope Valley and beyond. The rest of the way is then mostly downhill, crossing Abney Moor, travelling the weird and wonderous landscape beside Bretton Brook, through Oaks Wood, past Highlow Hall and Offerton Hall, and then a gentle walk along the River Derwent. This route has country lanes, moorland and woodland paths so expect a little mud along the way.
