Walk: Rivelin and Redmires near Sheffield
Overview
A circular walk visiting the three linked Redmires Reservoirs in the Dark Peak to the west of Sheffield at the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park. We'll then walk across to Rivelin Reservoirs near the A57 Snake Pass before returning to our start point via the Wyming Brook Nature Reserve.
Distance: around 4 miles. This is a pleasant walk and much of it is on well marked paths, but you will need proper boots as it will be muddy.
Do not attend if you have virus symptoms.
