Sunday 17 October 2021. With Rachel Bolton or Richard Tower.
A guided walk as part of a small group to explore some of the stunning gritstone edges on the west side of the Peak District.
Starting from the National Trust property Longshaw Lodge, we walk through the grounds and descend into the picturesque Padley Gorge. We cross the delightful stream and gently ascend through
woodland to Millstone Edge via Laurence Field quarry. After experiencing “the surprise view” (weather permitting), we follow the edge keeping a look out for rock climbers bravely ascending
the gritstone Towers and Tors and ascend to Carl Wark Hill Fort. The fort is a fine example of a reputed iron age hill fort but evidence suggests it could be Neolithic . After visiting the fort
and viewing the ramparts we ascend to Higger Tor (434m ) with a chance to view the gritstone rock formations up close and then work our way along the undulating Burbage Edge via Upper Burbage
Bridge to see evidence of discarded millstone wheels amongst the heather before returning to the car park.
The walk is about 10 miles/16k with over 700m elevation
The cost is £38 per person. Please book and pay below. You are booking with Rachel Bolton, and the walk on the day will be guided either by Rachel or by Richard Tower.
