The Rhododendrons GPX

I timed this walk to capture the rhododendrons which bloom so magnificently in June*. But it’s a really enjoyable stroll at any time of year. It starts from the bridge beside Errwood Hall car park. After passing the ruins of Errwood Hall, it heads up an old track alongside Shooter’s Clough Valley. There are some magnificent views all along the walk, especially from the top of the ridge.

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.

*Many of the rhododendrons have been cut down since I recorded this walk some years ago.
