South Head from Bowden Bridge ¦ Derbyshire Peak District walk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2023
- Join us in this video on one of our regular trips to the Derbyshire Peak District village of Hayfield. Just a short walk of just under 6 miles, we start from the Hayfield Camping & Caravanning Club site near the Bowden Bridge car park. As the initial part of the route gently rises towards Mount Famine, stunning views open up across to Kinder Scout and along the upper Sett Valley.
On the day we chose to skirt behind Mount Famine, but it's easy to cross the summit if you fancy some extra exercise.
The final ascent of South Head is quite steep, but not too taxing. After admiring the panoramic views, we made the short but steep descent, and dropped back down to Hayfield along old walled tracks for some well earned refreshment! Following that, a short walk along Kinder Road or alternatively, the path beside the River Sett, takes you back to the start point.
A great short walk if you fancy something a little easier but still with stunning views. A few gates, but no stiles to contend with along the route!
Many thanks for watching!

Nice one Des, topped off at the end with a cheeky pint, lovely. 🙂👍
Well the rain set in by the time we reached Hayfield, so what elso could we do?👍😁
Hello, dear Maria and Des! This looks really a wonderful trail. Beautiful green sceneries and amazing and relaxing sounds of nature! Absolutely fantastic! Have a great time and happy weekend,! My huge like! Renata
Hello Renata! You are probably bored with seeing those views by now, but it is a place we love going back to each year! 😁
Hope your weekend is going well also! All the best & take care👍☺
@@DesGreene Love to watch nature, Des!! It's really relaxing to me...Happy Sunday and week ahead and see you, my friend! Renata
What a lovely hike, with some amazing views. Great day out.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a really nice hike👍
Nice place to walk
Thanks Naomi!👍
You just reminded me that I need to grab my rain jacket before heading out today, it's supposed to rain here this afternoon LOL!!! Great hike. cheers
I think we've had our rain jackets with us for most of this summer! 😂 Hope you had a good day out👍
Lovely way to spend a morning Des, made even lovelier finishing with a pint of Sunbeam
It was Steve. A nice easy walk, and a pint or two afterwards...can't beat it!👍☺
A top hike that one. Love those 360 degree views.
Seems to be some great hikes direct from the Hayfield site. Will definitely get there in the new year Des.
Picking up the Motorhome tomorrow.
Mixture of anticipation and nerves 😃😃
Hi Dave. Beautiful walking around there. Shame the site closes over winter, but we always visit once or twice a year! Noticed from Insta that you've picked the motorhome up! Will watch your vid soon👍😁
Nice one, Des. I've only been up Mount Famine and South Head from the main road by Chinley Churn. It is a deceptive hill and a hard slog up. Great vlog as always, and I'm glad there was no bushwacking this time. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chris. It was quite a relaxing change just folling a path rather than having to rediscover one! 😁 My favourite route up there is along that ridge from Elle Bank and across Mount Famine, but Maria wanted an easyish one.
All the best & catch you soon👍
Hi both hehe Maria, forgive Des 🤭 You do find some lovely walks and great that you had a nice day for this 6 mile one. Love the sound of the river and I like the sound of the waterfalls that are around there and the hills are so green with lovely views 🙂 That looked a lovely walk and the pub looked so relaxing too :) ~ Anna 👍
Hi Anna. It is a beautiful walk. Not too strenuous, apart from up to South Head, but plenty of views while you're catching your breath anyway! 😁
Many thanks for watching! See you soon👍☺
Nice one Des, I wish we lived closer to the Peak District our hills have to much up in them for me LOL
There's a fair amount of uppage in the Peak District if you know where to look, but I know what you mean! 😁
A very nice looking walk Des. I should do Mount Famine and South Head sometime, perhaps turn it into a circuit over Kinder? Good to see you both enjoying a 'liquid lunch' (as my granddad used to call it) too. Any decent fungi? Bye for now, Chris
Hi Chris. It does make a decent circuit over Kinder. And if you head out to Brown Knoll from South Head, you don't need to lose/regain too much altitude. Some nice camping spots around Cluther Rocks too, if you want to break the journey up! 😁
We didn't see much in the way of funghi to be honest, the path up through the woods on Elle Bank is usually best for that.
Cheers for watching & catch you soon👍
Glad the weather stayed nice for you des. It actually looked like good walking conditions. A bit steep up and greasy down but all told a wonderful visual for the day. Set you up for a nice pint - we deserved. All the best. Mark
Hi Mark. Yes, nice walking weather. Not too warm, and the rain only arrived atvthe end to drive us into the shelter of the pub! 😁 Not that we usually need an excuse!
All the best to you too, mate!👍
@@DesGreene No, excuses not needed for such great walks. Have a great week ahead.
Lovely walk again Des, hope Tommy was watching! 😁 Hoping to do South Head and Mount Famine myself next year at some point. Hope the Sunbeam went down well at the end 🍻 Did you end up in the Sportsman again? I remember you saying you had a lovely meal there a while ago. All the best 👍
Hi Patrick. I hope Tommy was watching...hopefully not from on high in doggie heaven! 😁 We did have a meal in the Sportsman on the Friday night, but after this hike we just sampled The George and The Packhorse👍☺
All the best to you also!👍
An easy one with no scrabbling. 😂😂. She got ya on that one. 😂. It is so pretty. Didn’t look like a bad walk at all. The path looked fairly nice in places until it quickly became a narrow path. Y’all made it-tap, tap. Hopefully Little Tommy is watching. Nice hike.
It is a really nice walk. Great views, and not too difficult! Hopefully Tommy is OK, but I was wondering afterwards if he might have passed away and his owners left his collar on his favourite walk? One of life's little mysteries!👍😁
I wondered that too.
Looked a fab day for a walk Des (the peaks have a moody beauty on a day like this don’t they )
Will have to get up that way again soon it’s been too long ⛰️⛰️🤠👍
Best regards to Maria
ATB Simon 🤠👍
Hi Simon. It's a great area! Challenging walks if you want them, and easy ones like this to maintain marital harmony! 😁 The weather was great for walking, and the rain held of just long enough for usvto reach the pub👍☺
@@DesGreene excellent Des I’m the same just got to wind it back at times to keep a calm atmosphere 🤭
ATB mate 🤠👍
