Longshaw Estate 3
A short walk from the Longshaw Lodge car park in the Gritstone part of the Peak District.
South from the car park then through a wooded section down towards Grindleford station.
From there, up through Yarncliff wood overlooking Padley Gorge, and following the path, crossing the Burbage Brook and continuing up the western side. At the top of the gorge a path back to the lodge car park is on the other side of the road.
I had intended a longer walk to include the ascent of Carl Wark hill fort, but the increasing air temperature made me take the shorter option. I'll try to do the longer walk when the heather is out. (Maybe even include Higger Tor if I have the energy).
