Walk 2518 - Black Hill & Four Reservoirs

Nat Park   Peak District
County/Area   Kirklees
AuthorPaul Webb
Length10.0 miles / 16.3 km
Ascent1190 feet / 361 metres
Grademoderate

This Peak District walk offers some wonderful panoramas on a fine day with good open views of the Yorkshire valleys and the wide expanses of moorland. It's a good mixture of erosion-saving stone paving for quicker progress and getting covered in peat moss for the rest. On a low cloud day it's better described as crossing a bog in the fog!
