Walk description
This walk is a mix of woodland and moorland, starting at the Longshaw Estate. From the cafe we drop down to Bolehill Quarry before a steady climb up to the highest point of the walk, Higger Tor. From here we should have beautiful views across Hathersage Moor and beyond. From Higger Tor we make our way back to Longshaw via Carl Wark and Burbage bridge. There will most likely be mud in places and we have a few stiles and some rocks to negotiate.
