Ladybower Reservoir
This was our second walk of the day. When we’ve had to drive for a little while we try to make the day of it.

Haworth Circular, following in the footsteps of the Brontë sisters

We started our walk in Haworth and quickly arrived in Penistone Country Park. I was very excited to spot on the map that there was…
