Walking beside Grassholme Reservoir

The final climb of the day

Cross the road and go over a stone stile. In the next field bear half-right, through a dip, and then climb beyond to a stile at a wall corner. Now keep forward on a clear descending, grassy path not far from a wall on the right. Press on across two more pastures towards Grassholme Farm, beyond which the route joins a lane running down to Grassholme Reservoir.

Continue across the end of the reservoir, climbing briefly, then leaving the lane to pass through a metal gate onto the South Shore Path. Now enjoy the waterside path that continues until it meets a surfaced lane near the visitor centre, which is worth visiting (exhibition, refreshments and toilets).

Continue across the centre car park and follow the lane up to meet a quiet back lane. Follow this, left, for about 600m, as far as a footpath signpost opposite a lane on the right. Leave the lane here and head diagonally right, down-pasture, towards a wall and a waymarked stile. Through the stile, keep left beside the wall and walk down to the bottom of the field, crossing a couple of step-stiles on the way.
