I visited Blacka Moor Nature Reserve last Sunday after seeing some reviews saying people had spotted deer β and they were right! The walk was lovely, peaceful, and not too difficult. There were some really nice spots for a picnic as well. I was lucky enough to see a few deer too. A great place to enjoy some quiet time in nature!
Great nature reserve with lots of routes and areas to explore.
Stunning wild area with wild roaming deer, a particularly stunning place to visit in the Autumn and winter (Weather permitting)
A beautiful reserve of mixed heath and woodland offering some potential for wildlife observation. Opportunity to see wildlife is only marred by the high volume of runners, mountain bikers and dog walkers.
Very quiet compared to much of Peak District near Sheffield at the weekend. Saw deer. Tiny car park, or you can park off Stoney Ridge Road.
