Start time: 10:00
Grade: Moderate
Distance: 8.5 miles
Walk description
Starting from The Sands car park, we cross the cricket field towards Dam Flask Reservoir. After a short section of road walking out of Bradfield village, we ascend steeply across several fields to reach Loxley Road. We then follow a farm track, which leads us up to a footpath with great views across Bradfield. This path has several steep stiles and takes us to the Old Horns pub at High Bradfield. From here, we go through the church yard and follow paths and farm tracks towards our lunch stop, high above Agden Reservoir. A narrow track takes us down to the reservoir which we follow before taking a wooded path up to Windy Bank and on towards Dale Dike. Going round part of the reservoir, we ascend some very steep stone steps, to follow a wooded path which takes us onto a quiet road which brings us back into Lower Bradfield.
