Full description:
The walk starts with a gradual ascent through woodland onto Wharncliffe Chase (dogs must be on lead whilst on the chase as it contains livestock), we then circle around Wharncliffe Woods. I plan for us to break for lunch at a view point just as we get onto the best part of the walk...Wharncliffe Crags! We finish at The King and Miller pub.
