Walk description

Ecclesfield Park, Station Road, TPT, Shiregreen, Hartley Brook, Ecclesfield

We start our walk from Ecclesfield park car park, cross The Common, and walk up Station Road to reach the Trans-Pennine Trail (TPT). We then head east along the TPT until we drop down to Blackburn Brook. Walking along Blackburn Brook we head up to Green Lane. Crossing Green Lane with care, we ascend up into Shiregreen itself and make our way along Nethershire Lane and Hartley Brook Avenue to reach Barnsley Road at its junction with Hartley Brook Road.

From here we walk a very short distance down High Greave to reach Hartley Brook. Descending down Hartley Brook which is pleasant open green space we reach a footpath that takes us up to Cross Hill in Ecclesfield. Crossing Cross Hill with care we head through Ecclesfield estate to reach the park, once there it is a short walk back to the starting point of the walk.

This is an easy walk of about 4 miles. All paths are good throughout, there is some pavement walking through Lower Shiregreen.
