| Description |
The landscape of Burbage is controlled by the underlying distribution of rocks of the Carboniferous Millstone Grit. This has been moulded by periglacial activity during the last Ice Age and subsequently by the activities of man. This geological walk around the southern part of the Burbage Valley will look at the solid geology and geomorphology and consider the archaeological and historical impact of man on the landscape. Moderate difficulty with approximately 4 km of walking off the main paths on irregular, rocky, and sometimes steep terrain. Wear suitable outdoor clothing: with waterproofs and stout footwear. No facilities during the walk. There is no need to book.
N.B. Limited car parking. More parking at Fox House or in Longshaw Estate Car Park (NT). Bus to Hathersage Road (request stop after Fox House.)
Children must be accompanied by an adult. |
