Meet by the church and school in Litton (G.R. 164751) for a 6 mile (approx) walk exploring Cressbrook,Water-cum-Jolley and Cressbrook Dale.
The route crosses the fields & woods to Cressbrook followed by a descent to Litton Mill.Because of problems leaving the high level traverse, we will follow the trail through Water-cum Jolley below Cramside Wood before taking the interesting alternative path above the Dale (an escape when the main path is flooded ) which skirts around Cressbrook Hall to finish at the old mill.
The walk then continues via Cressbrook Dale and Tansley Dale to finish back in Litton for a tea at the Post Office or a pint at the pub.
See you there.
