From the George Hotel we walk along Main Street past the YHA before dropping down to the River Bradford. We follow the river up Middleton Dale until we reach open fields. From here we follow easy going paths and then climb steadily towards Rock Farm. Be aware that just before the farm there are some boggy areas to cross.
From here we skirt around Anthony Hill and make our way along Cliff Lane to Robin Hood’s Stride. We will have lunch here, probably around 12.45. After lunch we join the Limestone Way on our return to Youlgreave and the end of the walk.
