A Walk Around Eyam Moor

Leaving the car in the layby by the Plough pub near Hathersage, Karen and I followed the narrow road uphill past Hazleford Hall then at a bend further along, left the road for a rough track passing Tor Farm.
Soon we were dropping down the track then onto a path through woods and along the valley side above Highlow Brook before reaching the brook at Stoke Ford.
We stopped here for a few minutes for a snack then continued up the gradually-rising path through bracken following above Bretton Clough to reach the wall surrounding Eyam Moor.
There had been the odd light shower as we were walking along and as it was quite a warm day, it was a bit of a pain to have to keep stopping and putting waterproof jackets on and off. As we crossed the wall onto Eyam Moor there was a further shower which was more prolonged so we sheltered in a very small abandoned quarry until the shower was over.
We continued along the track on the moor following a field boundary until we arrived at Sir William Hill Road where we crossed a stile onto Sir William Road then back across the wall by a second stile a few metres away back onto Eyam Moor on the other side of the field boundary we had been following.
We followed a path which dropped downwards along the Moor until we eventually arrived at the road at Leam which was the same minor road we had followed at the start of the walk.
Following this section of the road, we crossed a stile into a field which cut across a bend in the road to pop back onto the road via a stile next to Hazleford Hall.
We then retraced our earlier route back to the Plough and afterwards had a snack at the café in Outside at Hathersage.
