Walk description
Starting from Bolsterstone we walk along the path above both Broomhead and More Hall Reservoirs following the skyline. We then descend following the path through the woods until we come to the Wantley Dragon. Depending on the weather we then either descend into a 16th century wood (if it too wet we will walk into Firth Woods instead). We then ascend and walk towards Parsonage Farm following the path towards Townend Road / Royd Lane. We then walk over the golf course to the Saxon Burial Site and then back on the path to Bolsterstone.
