Walk Name | Millers Dale to Castleton walk |
Description | Not so much a walk, more an excursion. We start by catching the 65 bus at 9.35am and after a lovely scenic tour we get off at Millers Dale just before 11. We’ll follow the Limestone way which goes above Monks Dale before it drops down to walk through Peter Dale and Hay Dale. We’ll branch off through Dam Dale and Peak Forest and then turn east to climb back up to the Limestone Way and a trig point with a grand view. From there we will drop down to Castleton (avoiding paths with slippy, wet limestone). We’ll catch the 272 back to Sheffield. I guess we will catch the 6pm bus. If we have time we can take refreshments in the Peak Hotel opposite the bus stop. |
