I have done the Curbar Edge / Baslow Edge / Birchen Edge so many times it was good to try a different route in the area. This first time out was only a short 4 mile 'taster' for a longer hike. It was also useful to work out the best place to park. There was a large layby on the Baslow / Sheffield A621 road, near to a stile onto the moor
This was essentially a there and back walk taking in a couple of stone circles and a lovely pool above a dam on Bar Brook.

| Great spot for a wild swim |

The second stone circle was off the track just past some farm buildings. It is hard to make out because it sits in long grass

Some clips from the walk - Big Moor Clips
An easy but great walk. I'll be back to do a longer hike soon. Hopefully next time I'll see some red deer.
About 4 miles
