Holmbridge Circular Walk | 3 Miles

February 21, 2022 CIRCULAR WALKS, HOLMFIRTH WALKS, SHORT WALKS UNDER 3 MILES, YORKSHIRE WALKS

This Holmbridge circular walk takes in the beautiful Holme Valley countryside and is an easy walk for kids. It’s actually a treasure hunt too, so a brilliant summer holiday activity! Using the route from Walks with Marty we had a lovely 5km walk in and around Holmbridge.

This 5km Holmbridge circular walk uses a mix of tarmac and grassy paths, but unfortunately isn’t suitable for pushchairs due to the gates and stiles in the fields. There is one steep hill to contend with, but after that it’s pretty gentle or downhill. If you’re looking for summer holiday activities or want to get walking with kids, this is a great way to get started.

The walking route starts at St David’s Church, near The Pickled Pheasant. Heading off up through the fields you’ll enjoy scenic views over the surrounding Holme Valley countryside while you collect clues to help you find the missing student (the treasure hunt).

The route brings you back down towards Woodhead Road, which should be crossed with care and takes you past the scenic Bottoms Mill (where you can often see a heron). It then brings you through beautiful woodland alongside Woodhead Road before you head back to The Pickled Pheasant for some lunch in their beer garden.

I took Hols and her friend out to do this walk in the school holidays. Both are 9 and really enjoyed the treasure hunt! Be sure to take a pen and clipboard.

ABOUT ME

Y Garn with Kids - Y Garn via the Devil's Kitchen Walk in Ogwen Valley

Hello! I’m Jo! Welcome to The Wandering Wildflower, an outdoors lifestyle blog focusing on family walks in the Peak District, a place we love exploring. I want to share the Peak District hidden gems and show you there’s so much more than the honeypot places. When I’m not dragging my husband and now 11 year old out on Peak District walks or up mountains, I can be found on planning my next moorland walk or plotting a Geocache walk (and seeing where the nearest pub is!). I love the hills but hate the heights, so trig bagging is – er- fun!

 

I hope this blog will give you some ideas of places to visit in the Peak District and inspire you and your family to head into the great outdoors.  Thanks for stopping by!
