Biggin Dale, Wolfescote Dale and Beresford Dale from Hartington

It was quite a bit cooler at around 17° and mostly cloudy with sunny periods so it was a lot more pleasant walking today.
We left the car in the centre of Hartington village and left the village following uphill passing Hartington Hall Youth Hostel and then after crossing a couple of fields, followed the stony track called Highfield Lane, until it arrived at the minor road into Biggin and the top of Biggin Dale.
After following Biggin Dale we eventually arrived at Wolfescote Dale and the River Dove. Here we stopped for a few minutes for a drink and a snack and then made our way along the dale to its end at a gate and small footbridge bringing us to a large open flat section of pastureland.

On the other side of this pastureland, we crossed a larger footbridge to arrive at Beresford Dale. After walking along the Dove for a while,we left Beresford Dale to again reach several fields of pastureland and a well-marked footpath leading back to join the village of Hartington.
