About

This 24 mile circular walk starts at Berry Brow station and heads south to Holmfirth, then loops round the reservoirs near Holmbridge. It returns via Hepworth, Thurstonland and Farnley Tyas to the Iron Age hill fort at Castle Hill, with big views over the valley. There are plenty of climbs, so most people walk it in sections.
