Offerton Hall

We parked in a small layby at the edge of Shatton village in Hope Valley.
Heading easterly we followed the River Derwent downstream, on the Derwent Valley Heritage Way, until we came to the stepping stones that would take us to Hathersage, if we so chose.
Instead, turning away from the river we headed up hill and passed through Offerton, admiring the splendid buildings of Offerton House, and Offerton Hall.
We then picked up a fine path that took us west across the bottom of Offerton Moor, and across the top of Glover Bank, until we came out on the access road to Shatton Mast, which is also an old byway.
We followed the road downhill back down to Shatton, with a small diversion to the ford to wash the mud off our boots.

Points to note

• These walks are listed as a record of walks that we have done. If you wish to follow them then you do so at your own risk.
• Distances given are those recorded on our GPS as Track Distance.
  Actual distance walked may be slightly longer, due to the way that the two distances are calculated. This article explains why.
• Times given may or may not include breaks.
• You'd expect on a circular walk that the Ascent and Descent values would be the same, right?
  Well, yes, but sometimes I didn't stop the track at the exact same place I started it, and also sometimes it takes a while to get a strong enough 3D fix for a reasonably accurate altitude setting.
• Any photos shown will be of the ground covered by the walk, but may cover more than one visit.
