Walk Name Alport Castles and Alport Moor
Description If you fancy a scenic walk mixed with boggy places (emulating my mentor J. S.’ style), then please join!
Circular route: From the car park we will take the Roman Road to Hayridge Farm, and then take the footpath to Alport Farm, then go up to Alport Castles. After that we will walk to the trig point and continue walking on Alport Moor (Grains in the Water, The
Swamp) to take the Pennine Way. From there we will go back via the Old Woman and on the Edges of Alport Moor to the car park.
