Full description:
This one is putting the 'country' in the Sheffield Country Walk! From Fox House, we’ll do a circular loop up to Upper Burbage Bridge and back via Higger Tor. When we get to Fox House again, we cross Hathersage road onto Moss Road and follow that all the way back to Totley. We have quite some mileage to complete, so make sure you eat something beforehand, as we won’t be having a food break. It may also start to get dark towards the end of the walk, so you can bring a head torch just in case.

Public transport or car sharing options:
Getting to the start:
- Bus 65 to Tideswell via Hunter’s Bar (Sheffield Interchange D6, 17:58 > Fox House, 18:30)

Getting home from the finish:
- Bus 97 to Hillsborough Interchange via Abbeydale Road (Baslow Road/Hillfoot Court, 21:42 > Arundel Gate, 22:07)
- Bus 218 (peakline) to Sheffield Interchange (Baslow Road/Hillfoot Court, 21:36 > Sheffield Interchange, 21:59)
