Wed. 8th May - Longshaw to Padley Chapel and return walk guided by Robert Allcroft
This walk will show you some interesting historic features such as an ice house, plunge pool, bronze age cairns, early medieval long houses, atmospheric millstone quarries and a tour of Padley Chapel. The walk is hilly and approximately 9 kms with the paths very uneven in places so wear strong walking shoes/boots and sticks might be adviseable. The walk is likely to take circa 4 - 5 hours depending on how long we spend at the sites of interest. As such I suggest a picnic stop half way for lunch. Any dogs on leads, please.
Members are free but suggest a voluntary donation for the tour of Padley Chapel towards its upkeep. Non-members welcome but with a fee of £3.
