Walk: Winscar Reservoir
An adventurous trek around a reservoir in a little known Yorkshire part of the Peak District. Good walking boots and navigation skills are required for this route over Open Access land. The Route what3words for start point: ///costumes.juniors.flaunting Start Point: Dunford Bridge Car Park/Windle Edge, Sheffield S36 4TF Finish Point: Dunford Bridge Car Park Distance: 6 Miles GPX Route Map walkshirewinscarreservoirDownload Walk Description From the car park, head towards the main road, cross, and turn left along Windle Edge. Usually, when there is no pavement, you should walk on the side of the road towards traffic for safety - so when the pavement stops, stay on this side of the road, but keep to the grass verge as much as you can. At the first tarmaced junction, turn right and follow it to the car park of the Pennine Sailing Club. At the gate, turn left to walk up the embankment. This is now Open Access land, so you’re able to walk anywhere here. Turn right and follow the line of the shoreline of the reservoir, keeping it on the right hand side. At the feeder streams, carefully ford through at less deep points. You should find recognisable paths from previous walkers to help guide you. Turn the corner around the feeder channel and when you see a wood in front of you, head to the left of it to find a path. Now follow this to meet an access road on a tight bend. Veer to the right and then turn right down the hairpin bend, following the track to a yard. Once in the yard, look for a clear path on the ground to a gap in the boundary wall to the left, Go through the gap, turning right to another gap in the boundary. Now follow the path on the ground straight ahead until you reach a T-junction of paths. Turn right to walk above and along Harden Reservoir. Follow the path as it drops down and turns left on an actress road across the dam, to reach Dunford Road. Turn right here, and walk down the road - with lovely views of Winscar Reservoir on the right. At the Yorkshire Water sign, turn right toward the Winscar car park. At the end of the car park, continue down the access road and at the junction where the dam is to the right, head left over the crest of the hill following the path on the ground. This takes you to the junction of Dunford Road and Windell Edge. Turn right and then right again to walk along Windell Edge back to the car park.
Walk: Penistone to Dunford Bridge
An easy walk along the former Great Central Railway in South Yorkshire, with moorland views, trees and wildflowers.

Start at the thriving market town of Penistone and follow the former Great Central railway out past the skate park through rolling moorland and tree-lined tracks to the remote hamlet of Dunford Bridge. Take a break and admire the views and local wildlife from one of the benches and look out for historic clues of the path's past. Younger explorers will be thrilled to find a magic wood just after Hazlehead Bridge station, as well as exquisitely painted fairy houses nestling in the trees.
Walk: Scout Dike, Royd Moor and Ingbirchworth Reservoirs
Visit three lovely reservoirs on the outskirts of Penistone for some peace, quiet and mindfulness time. Perfect for letting the world go by as you stroll.

The walk starts with Scout Dike to your right but soon you will spot Royd Moor higher up and to the left. The walk intersects both water bodies as it follows the path towards Ingbirchworth reservoir. If you're looking to refuel why not take a detour on the way back via the village of Ingbirchworth for some refreshments before heading back.
Walk: The Four Reservoir Walk
Not one, not two but FOUR reservoirs of Yateholme, Riding Wood, Ramsden & Brownhill, on this easy walk near Holmbridge which appears to be a lot longer than it actually is… The Route what3words for start point: ///flight.tissue.electric Start / Finish Point: Yorkshire Water free car park on Brownhill Lane, HD9 2QW Distance: 3 Miles GPX Route Map walkshirethefourreservoirwalkDownload Walk Description From Ramsden Reservoir Car Park, turn right on the road and after a short while, turn left at the large blue Yorkshire Water sign for Ramsden. Follow this path as it turns sharp right to cross the reservoir embankment - looking right to see Brownhill Reservoir - and then sharp right again to walk away from the reservoir. Soon, at the waymarked post signed "Kirklees Way Public Footpath" carry straight on along the boundary and cross over the stile. Head right to walk up the slight incline of Netherley, and then turn right to follow the boundary to the corner. Turn left and follow the clear path to Holme Wood Lane. Turn left and follow the road around to the right, and then around to the left to walk along the north edge of Yateholme Reservoir. Continue walking on the road and you reach the north embankment of Riding Wood Reservoir. Follow the road as it turns left but turn right almost immediately to walk up the walled track opposite the house. Keep to the left of the junctions and head through the wood. As you emerge, ignore the road to the right and continue straight on along the footpath, then taking a left turn to walk along another walled track. This track meets a road, and here turn left to return to the car park.
