Beautiful hilly walk from the park, up to the trig point at Bleaklow and back through Old Glossop. Start at Manor Park and walk up Sheffield Road. Join Dr's Gate and follow the path to it's highest point (you'll know). Drop down into the valley and straight back up to the trig point. Follow the path to the west back down into the valley and re join Dr's Gate
