Digley - short walk

From the car park in Digley Quarry point 1 go up the steps in the banking towards the reservoir to join a walled lane, turn right uphill slightly and follow the lane as it descends towards a point where it is walled across.  Keep right here leading to a stile on a path alongside a wood where you will come across a flight of steps. Descend the steps and follow the obvious path to a stile into a walled lane. Follow this lane for approximately 315 metres to where it forks at point 2.  There is a seat here between the two lanes. Bear left at point 2 and descend to Bilberry Dam, walk across the dam and follow the path up the hillside beyond point 3.  Continue on the path along the hillside through a gate in the wall until you rejoin the longer route at point 4, near a gate and bridge over the stream.

With the reservoir on your left follow the path across a field, then alongside a wall, pass through a kissing gate and follow the obvious path to Digley south car park.  Go through the car park and turn left on the road 5. Being careful of the traffic, cross the dam and turn left to follow the footpath to point 6. Here, where the road starts to curve right go through a gate on the left and follow the path and steps back to the car park.
