Blacka Hill & Moor
Difficulty: Easy
Length: 3.51 Miles
A short and fairly easy going walk, although does have a few steep ascents. Ideal stroll on the way or way back from somewhere. The walk is all off road, and covers a mix of moorland, forest and bridleway walking. It is likely that you will find cyclists on this walk, so be prepared.
This is an ideal walk before heading on to the pretty village of Hathersage. Home to Little John's Grave, which can be found in the churchyard of Saint Michael's.
