Walk description
The walk follows the southern edge of Underbank reservoir to Midhopestones, then begin to climb past the Mustard Pot and the Old Chapel, this then takes a bridleway upwards for approximately 10 minutes. After a short section of lightly used road it enters a woodland path with a short incline which gives good views over Underbank one way and the stark moors the other. After a short break the walk is all downhill or flat through farmland onto the old railway path. Care will have to be taken when crossing the A616. Apart from the one uphill section this is an easy walk.
This walk starts at Underbank, there is limited parking or on street at Unsliven Road, S36 1FT.
