Overview

A circular walk anticlockwise around 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 walk anticlockwise around the reservoirs, going up along the quiet road before taking footpaths back along the southern edge, where you'll get the best views of the water in these interestingly shaped reservoirs, which are visited by thousands of wildfowl and waders each year.

Please dress appropriately for the weather, stout shoes or boots are recommended. Afterwards we have included lunch at The Three Merry Lads where we have booked an outdoor table due to the Covid regulations.

Distance: 3 miles approx.

If the weather is unsuitable for outdoor dining we will reschedule this event.

If you book and then for any reason you can't make it please let us know so we can offer the place to someone else. Do not attend if you have virus symptoms.

We must all observe the social distancing regulations. Please do not book unless you are prepared to keep a two metre distance from other walkers. We are not requiring members to wear face coverings, but you are welcome to do so if that makes you feel more comfortable. We advise that you bring gloves and hand sanitiser. Do not share food or drink or equipment such as walking poles with other walkers outside your household or bubble.

Is this for me?

There's a mixture of roads, surfaced tracks and unsurfaced paths. The route is mainly fairly level, but the terrain can be uneven and wet underfoot. 90m of ascent.

Meeting Point

Meet in the Wyming Brook Nature Reserve car park on Redmires Road.

Getting There

From Sheffield city centre take the A57 from Brook Hill roundabout and continue on to Fulwood Road, taking a slight right to continue along the A57 into Manchester Road. Continue for around half a mile before turning left onto Selbourne Road, then turn left onto Sandygate Road. Continue and keep right to follow onto Redmires Road for around 2½ miles and park in Wyming Brook car park, just past Soughley Lane.

Please be careful if using the postcode with your sat nav as postcodes in remote places can cover a large area. The car park is on the right on Redmires Road on the section signed No Through Road and Unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles.

Bus number 51 stops at Lodge Moor bus terminus on Redmires Road, a 10 minute walk from the nature reserve. Buses 273, 274 and 275 all stop on Manchester Road to the north of the reserve but you would have to walk through the reserve to the meet point at the car park.
