Bolsterstone and Ewden Valley, South Yorks
14 people attending
6 places left
This is a 7 mile walk (approx). It will take in some good views of the reservoir and surrounding moorland, farmland and hills. There are a couple of steeper ascents on the way which gives us these great views.
Parking is limited in the village so please car share (where possible).
We will start in Bolsterstone village and then take in some lovely views of the area. We'll then head to and around the reservoir. We will stop for lunch part way through to refuel.
There are good paths on most of the walk, but in areas of woodland it can be a bit boggy (especially if has been wet recently).
