Alport Castles And Alport Dale

Although slightly longer than what might be classed as a medium walk, this walk has great views from the ridge above Alport Dale.  It starts with a climb through the woods to Lockerbrook Farm and then to Bellhag Tor and then along the ridge to Alport Castles.  The return is by descending to Alport Farm via Alport Dale, after crossing the A57 again towards Upper Ashop, Rowlee Bridge, Rowlee Farm to Lockerbrook Farm and then descend through the woods to the car park.After the initial climb through the woods much of the walk is on relatively level ground on good footpaths and tracks.  The final climb to Rowlee Farm is not as demanding as the first climb followed by the descent back to the start.
