Redmires

Type: Three Boots
Route Length: 2-5 miles
 
A circular walk from the upper Redmires Reservoir, this route crosses the moors to the south of the 3 tiered reservoirs. As you descend down the path you'll have stunning views of these intriguingly shaped reservoirs which are visited by thousands of wildfowl and waders each year. Upon reaching the valley at the bottom, the walk returns to the car park through the woodlands of Redmires plantation and Redmires Road. The walk is reasonably level but can be uneven and wet under foot and sturdy footwear is recommended. The walk is 2.5 miles long. Please note: Work is currently underway at this site, please take care.

Route

At point 1 at the southern end of Redmires Road, pass through the “A” frame and along the path to the reservoir embankment at point 2. Do not enter the embankment as this is part of the Nature Reserve but keep to the path on the right. Walk down towards the middle reservoir. At the middle reservoir point 3, cross the culvert using the boardwalk and turn right. Continue along the path to the end of the dam at point 4.

Walk past the end of the dam and follow the path to the kissing gate at point 5. Go through the kissing gate and down the steps to the left. Walk along the path by the reservoirs edge to point 6. Pass through a kissing gate and turn left, keeping the reservoir embankment on your left and make your way to point 7. Follow the footpath through the water treatment works to point 8.

Now, turn left and continue up the tarmac access road, turning right at the end onto the footpath alongside and then into the wood.  Follow the path through the wood to Redmires Road at point 9.  Enter the highway turning left, taking care as there is no pavement, and follow the road back to the start at point 1.
