Beautiful open moorlands for you to explore with your doggos. Enjoyable walk, clean not much rubbish 😁 You may even get to see the local Llamas on their outings 😍

This was a lovely walk, although perhaps nrieft given the distance. There are three designated walks, and to say the walks are lovely.

I have walked along here many a time and would say it is an excellent public ground to visit with several walks, some short and some long, one taking you towards Lightwood and Eaves Lane via Noga's Pool. Be aware that some people walk their dogs off a lead and can be an irritant! Also note that one narrow pathway at the top of Sandy Lane (on entering the common next to the kissing gate) has broken glass so be cautious when taking your dog up there. I have taken footage of both Stonechats and a Songthrush up here as well as the occasional Buzzard and female Kestrel.

I come here everyday to walk my girls. Besides it being muddy (what do you expect) it's a fantastic place to go.
