| 760 Hawkshaw to Holcombe Moor | |
Holcombe Moor is well known on the eastern side, but they keep a bit quiet about its backdoor route. Tucked away here is a 17th century hamlet, while above there's a delightful stroll past Red Brook, leaping joyfully down a rocky clough, with a view stretching to the Welsh mountains.
