Jepson's Gate to Round Loaf
 
Date 1/2/2003
Starting Point Jepson's Gate, Anglezarke
Distance 4 miles

A short late afternoon walk

I parked the car at Jepson's Gate (SD624169) and walked up the farm track. Eventually the track meets Limestone Brook. Keep the brook to your right and after half a mile the path forks - take the one to the left to Round Loaf

 


The track from Jepson's Gate. Rivington Pike is on the skyline

 

The ruins of Peewit Hall

 

The track veers to the left and Winter Hill comes into view

 

Old Lead mine spoils in the distance. Note the gate bottom left. On this walk it is ignored - it leads into Lead Mine Valley

 

Yarrow Reservoir from the track

 

Storm clouds over Spitlers Edge
