Youlgreave - Long Dale - Elton - Bradford Dale - Youlgreave

An interesting, not too difficult walk using some of the less used paths in this area. Most paths are across fields or along gravel lanes, with only short sections of road-walking.

The outward route follows the mostly dry valley of Long Dale which is not well-known, but can be a bit like a wind tunnel at times. There are no really steep climbs along this route, but there is one quite steep descent.

The pub used, when written, The Duke of York in Elton, no longer opens at lunchtimes and only a few evenings. Food and refreshments will now need to be carried for this walk. Choice of location up to personal choice around route.

This was a really nice walk that took in a few paths we hadn't been on before. Our GPS measured it at over 9 miles rather than the 7.5 quoted. Young bulls in field above Mawstone Farm were very interested in our dog.

Checked into the status of Pub on Sunday 7th July. It was still open. Though I understand that only lunchtime opening is now Sundays. The Tea Rooms that were around the corner have Closed though.

A decent walk, but made it around 9 miles rather than the stated 7.5 miles. At waymark 17,the farmyard manure had now been cleared. At waymark 22,The Duke of York pub was closed when we arrived at 2pm.At waymark 36 by the stile near the stream it was extremely muddy and wet, care had to be taken here to pass it.
