Derwent Valley | |
This was a walk round the eastern side of the Derwent Valley that six of us from urw managed to fit in one Saturday in January 2001. We set off from the National Park Information Centre making our way onto the open moor via Shireowlers Plantation and Lost Lad. From Back Tor we headed north to Cartledge Bents, Margery Hill and Outer Edge before cutting across to Crow Stones and then dropping into the valley via Stainery Clough to return to the carpark along the side of Howden and Derwent Reservoirs |
