Our walk takes us, by a steep ascent in places, to the top of Penhill with great views all around. From there we walk along Penhill Scar, Black Scar and across the moor to the Height of Hazely. We descend, again on a steep path, to Cote Bridge and make our way to the picturesque waterfall at West Burton. As we make our way back to the start we will pass the interesting remains of a Knights Templar Preceptory and Chapel dating back to the 12th C. Then it is along the green Langthwaite Lane back to the village of West Witton.
