Walk Directions

From the front door of the pub turn right and walk down the road past the garage and the railway station. On reaching the railway bridge turn right before it (Beggars Bridge is on the far side) and over the footbridge crossing the stream, continue straight ahead up the steps and turn left along the path through East Arncliffe Wood. At the far end of the wood the road at Delves is reached.

Turn right as the road climbs uphill and round the bends, after approx. 400 mtrs take a track to the left (signed as Butter Park Farm), follow the track to the farm and walk straight ahead through the farmyard. Continue on the track until Lodge Hill Farm is reached and as it enters the farmyard turn right past the front of the house, at the far end pass through the gate (ignoring the path to the left). The path bears right to follow the field boundary, the fields make a couple of sharp right turns but at the third continue straight ahead across the open moorland until the road is reached.

At the road turn right for approx 300 mtrs until a track to the left is reached (signed as a dead end). Follow this track downhill until reaching a bungalow at the bottom, turn left immediately in front of the bungalow, the path crosses a footbridge and continues straight ahead until emerging on the road immediately next to the entrance to the pub car park.
