Trail Reviews
Fairly strenuous climb up through the woods on to Bamford Moor for the first elevated views of the Dams. Then a two mile hike across the moor loops round to the start of Bamford Edge. About a mile along the edge and then back down through the other side of the wood. I think Bamford Edge is the best of the local "Edges" because the stupendous views also include the "Dam Busters" Reservoirs.
4.5ml Hike with a challenging journey to see the beauty of Bamford Edge and Lovey view we stand at this point we can see though the reservoir Lady Bower clear.I enjoy relaxed and comfortable. It's very amazing I would like to go back again in summer to see the heather in flower
