Outer Edge Trig Point

Highlight • Natural Monument

A very muddy and boggy part of the world! The trig point is surrounded by it's own moat of peat mud, so take care when visiting and wear waterproof footwear as it's very wet.

Little Don River Waterfall

Highlight • Forest

Popular and busy spot

Tip by

14.3 km

This ancient track was used by farmers in the Upper Derwent and Woodlands Valley to take their livestock to the nearest market, which was at Penistone. The Cut Gate track runs from the reconstructed Slippery Stones bridge at the head of the Howden Reservoir up Bull Clough and over Featherbed Moss to Mickleden Edge before dropping over Hingcliff Hill into Langsett. Stone Age arrow heads have ben found in the peat close to the Cut Gate track, so it seems that these now bleak and inhospitable moors have seen signs of human activity for many thousands of years.
Near the bridge are the remains of Brookhouse Farm, which was one of several which were depopulated in the interests of water purity when the reservoir was built at the start of the 20th century. In 1588, so a story says, the rent for this farm was a red rose at Christmas and a snowball at midsummer!
