Valley Views GPX

The third walk in this series took me a while to discover. It’s a very easy stroll – although it can get a bit muddy after rain – and offers some tremendous views across the valley. It passes the ruins of Errwood Hall and can easily be extended by visiting St Joseph’s Shrine or the hilltop graves the Grimshawe family who once owned the 1000 acre estate (see walk 4).

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.
