About us
The Sheffield Millennial Walkers are a sister group to the Sheffield 20s and 30s Walking Group, part of the Ramblers - the UK’s walking charity.
We are a social group aimed at people in the millennial generation: those born from 1981-1996 (and a bit either side).
More events and further information about the group is listed on our web page: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/
Being a Ramblers affiliated group we encourage our participants to join the Ramblers Association. This allows you to attend our future weekends away and get other Ramblers benefits. It also helps support the great work that Ramblers do to keep the countryside open to all and to fight for the things that matter most to walkers. You can read more about the work done by Ramblers here.

Start time: 10:00
End time: 14:00 (plus pub)

Start point - What 3 Words: ///irrigate.thud.coach

Is your walk dog friendly?: Yes, well-behaved dogs kept on a lead
Full description: Starting next to the Robin Hood pub in Birchen edge car park, we'll head along the wooded Dobb Edge towards the hunting tower in the Chatsworth Estate grounds. After a lunch break and possible snack stop at Chatsworth, we'll head to Baslow, climbing a steep hill that leads us to Wellingtons monument, which offers scenic views of the surrounding area. From there we'll walk through a slightly boggy area and up onto similarly scenic Birchen edge, where we pass a monument to Admiral Nelson, and three boulders named for his fleet at the battle of Trafalgar (which are a good bouldering spot, for people who like outdoor climbing). From there we drop back into where we started, next to the Robin Hood pub, an ideal place to end the walk with an optional post walk pint.
Public transport or car sharing options: Due to the walk start point, it is recommended to drive, or arrange a car share for yourself. Public transport is available that stops at the walk start, but it looks like a long journey. I've avoided starting this walk in Baslow in the interests of parking availability.
Be prepared: Please remember to dress appropriately for the time of year. A waterproof is always advised, as well as plenty of food and water. Please bring sun protection if required (sun hat, sunglasses, sun cream, etc).
