Sheffield Shamblers Walking Group - Wharncliffe Crags -Sunday 19th Febraury

[Village Owl 10]

Description

 

This is a 6.5-7 mile walk and wil take us roughly 4.5 hours. The route is lovely and once on the crags it offers some wonderful views of the surrounding area. We pass through Wheata woods into Wharncliife Woods, and then onto Wharncliffe Chase. From there we will make our way along the crags, going right to the end of them before rejoining Wharncliffe Chase and following paths back through the woods to the start. The walk and terrain is classed as easy to moderate, and we will be going over stiles, walking on well used paths, which may be uneven in places and which can be muddy after rain.

As an alternative to this lovely walk less energetic walkers or people who just want to see some fantastic views might try this one.Start off at Lowoods club Station Rd Deepcar Walk south up Station road, turn left at the first roadway you come to and follow your nose till you come to the pond.Keep to the right side of the pond and follow the path right to the top of the crags.The path is rocky and muddy in parts so good boots are a must , nice easy walk for beginners.Take your camera for some stunning shots, see my other posts for some examples on flicker and photobucket.
