Walk description
Taking the level path from the village we enter the park and begin the uphill climb onto Dobb Edge, there is one quite high, but solid, stile to negotiate. We make our way through woodland before passing close to the Hunting Tower and eventually the lakes. A forestry track winds down through Stand Woods to bring us to ‘the house’. Everyone is now free to browse the Christmas market, this will also double as our lunch/toilet break. We will determine the amount of time spent there on the day. Meeting up after our break we will make our way back through the park on lower level paths, to emerge back in the village.
Please note: This walk is only available for current members of Sheffield Walkers.
