Round off 2026 with a proper Dark Peak walk through wild moorland, historic reservoirs and bag a trig point! Moderate

About this walk

One final walk before we wave goodbye to 2026! Join Peak Outdoor Community for a guided circuit around Redmires, Rivelin and Rod Moor, where open moorland meets the extraordinary industrial history of Sheffield’s water supply.

We’ll leave the reservoirs behind for higher ground, explore the changing scenery of Hallam Moors, and hear how water shaped both the city below and the landscape around us. Expect big skies, a little bit of history, friendly company and a trig to bag. A great way to finish the walking year!

Distance / ascent: 11.60 km / 367 m

Difficulty: Moderate - suitable for walkers accustomed to uneven moorland terrain and longer walks

Duration: Approximately 4½–5 hours including breaks

Who will be your guide?

I’m Emily, founder of Peak Outdoor Community, and I’m a Mountain Leader based in Glossop at the edge of the Dark Peak. I’ve always been outdoorsy since being a young girl but hiking became a real obsession in 2019 when I started to go solo. I aim to inspire other women to learn the many benefits of exploring in the outdoors and I’m passionate about sharing my love for adventure with you!

Safety:

The aim of every Peak Outdoor Community walk is to create a welcoming, relaxed and enjoyable experience. We walk at a comfortable pace with plenty of opportunities to stop, chat, take photographs and learn about the landscape.

As with all outdoor activities, there are inherent risks. Participants are responsible for ensuring they are fit enough for the walk and should let us know about any relevant medical conditions before attending.

All walks are led by qualified Mountain Leaders with Outdoor First Aid qualifications.
