Shining Tor GPX

At about six miles, this walk is one of the longest in the series. There are a few uphill slopes along the way, and a mile-long section across open moorland, but the rewards are some stunning panoramic views. The path leads along Foxlow Edge, then a short distance along the old Roman road known as The Street, before heading along the ridge line towards Shining Tor.

The starting point is Errwood Hall car park (Google map). Note that the road from the main car park at The Street is closed on bank holidays, as well as weekends between 1st May and 30th September. But it's an easy 10 minute stroll between the two car parks, along the attractive lane beside Errwood Reservoir.
