"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler
There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: / solitaryrambler

Many thanks and I hope you enjoy watching!

It's marvellous to know that there are such beautiful and picturesque villages like these within the city of Sheffield limits, Patrick. There cannot be many cities in Great Britain where the scenery like this, is virtually on the doorstep. The countryside is so inviting to see, with all the luscious green fields, hillsides and the reservoir, too. St. Nicholas church in High Bradfield is one of the most eye-catching places of worship that I have ever seen in any village. The architecture of the exterior is stunning, and the interior is very warming indeed. An excellent film Patrick, and so, many thanks.
I always found it fascinating that Bradfield and the surrounding countryside all falls within the city of Sheffield. Reinforces what is said about Sheffield being the greenest city. I love High Bradfield because of that wonderful church, one of the finest views from a church in the Peak District. Glad you enjoyed this Ffranc, thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍
Bradfield is a magnificent little village indeed. Thanks for sharing your walk with us, Patrick!
Glad you enjoyed it Richard, thanks for watching 👍
Hi Patrick, Thank you again for another wonderful walk it was lovely to hear the birds singing and so peaceful walking along the reservoirs. What a nice looking village Bradfield is. regards Dave & Jean.
Morning Dave and Jean, yes Bradfield is a fantastic village as you will have gathered from watching this. Thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍
Another beautiful walk but with such a tragic history. And finally, we get to see a church that is open! Thanks for sharing, Patrick. I really enjoyed this route.
I love this walk, but yeah the history is a sad one. I was so over the moon to have got inside this church! Thanks for watching and commenting Chris, all the best 👍

Great video again Patrick very beautiful villages and some lovely views

Many thanks Peter. It is indeed an amazing place to walk, would highly recommend 👍
This walk had everything Patrick ..including a few wow factors with the reservoirs and the church not to mention the scenery .. we really enjoyed this one ..keep up the good work ....regards Frank & Lee.....
Thanks Frank and Lee, there are certainly some wow factors for me too on this walk. Pleased you enjoyed it, thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍
That was marvellous Patrick as always, thanks for showing us how lovely the South Sheffield area is, with us coming from the Amber Valley area, it’s not a area we’re too familiar with,we shall certainly be going up there now, and yay! You got in a church 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching Della, glad you enjoyed it. You'll have gathered from this I love this area and it was wonderful to finally get inside a church! 👍
I have skimmed the area when we did Wyming brook and some edges it does look amazing 🤩
Lovely looking area, just beyond places I am familiar with, and the clarity of the day's weather showed it off to advantage. Thanks for the journey.
Thanks for watching Michael. The weather was perfect on this day, and it's a lesser known area of the Peak District which is very much to its advantage 👍
Great villages Patrick.. not heard of them so a great walk along with you.. thanks again . Ali. .😊
It's a beautiful and lesser known area. Thanks for watching Ali, all the best 👍
Hi Patrick thankyou for this great walk 👍
Very welcome Tereza, thanks for watching 👍
I love there
wonderful movie and loved the music too. Astonishing to think that the hustle and bustle of Sheffield is only a short drive away. Thanks Patrick, this was great. I have similar feelings for Hutton Le Hole and Rosedale Abbey here in North Yorkshire; places I could never tire of.
Thank you as always Eric for your kind words and for watching. Yes all this area falls within the City of Sheffield, so it is amazing really. All the best 👍
Great walk Patrick, love this area and i agrea both villages are truly beautiful, thanks for taking us with you on this trek 👍
Cheers Jay, yes you'll know this area well of course as I've seen several of your vids around Bradfield. Thanks for watching 👍
Man, it's so beautiful , find it super relaxing these videos ,
Glad you like them, many thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Hi Patrick. Some stunning views on your walk Patrick. Some lovely villages too. So glad you got to go inside the church this time. Have a great weekend and see you on the next one 👍😊
Morning Cath, this is certainly a stunning walk from my point of view along with the lovely Bradfield. I was chuffed to finally get inside a church! 😁 Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend too 👍
@@solitaryrambler Aw your very welcome Partick. Have a great day. 🙂👍
Always a great watch. Brilliant if not familiar sound track.
Thanks Peter, much appreciated 👍
Pretty villages! Lovely video as always, thank you for sharing.
Thanks as always Nuinmar, all the best 👍
Thank you Patrick for another enjoyable video.
Glad you enjoyed it Dave, thanks for watching 👍
You're right, it doesn't look like it's near Sheffield although it is. I could live in low Bradfield but knowing my luck the dam would burst again! i had the same look on my face as you did, when the second door to the church opdned. Of late, it's been more miss than hit with the church doors you've tried. So glad it was open, it was beautiful inside. I'm not religious but the architecture and stonework on old church's is fantastic. That area makes for such a lovely country walk and so scenic. The hole in the wall lol, I've done the same. Still the alternative keeps you fit. It's always a delight to watch your uploads and relaxing too. Thanks Patrick and cheers 😁
Many thanks for the kind words Kelly. I could live in Bradfield too, but would probably go for High Bradfield, safe from any potential floods! I was so chuffed to be able to get inside that church! I'm not religious either, but I adore churches themselves and this one has everything, beautiful architecture and location. Yeah I spotted that hole in the walk too late, but it wasn't a problem. Like you say, keeps me fit! 😁 Thanks for watching Kelly and all the best 👍
Another cracking video. The area looks amazing!
Many thanks Jamie, it's a wonderful area 👍
Hi Patrick, what an absolutely beautiful place, we've never been to the Bradfields but it's now on our list of retirement walks, which is getting longer.
Bradfield is lovely Steve, definitely worth visiting. Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent as per usual Patrick. Also, good to see you have acquired a proper sun hat. Cheers from NZ.
Thanks Chris. I've had the hat for some time actually, but have only been wearing it more regularly recently 👍
Great Patrick lovely walk wonderful scenery looks like we will have to re-book and come back next as well after November's trip !! 🤣 a lot to see still.
Thanks Russ, you will have to make a return visit as there is so much to see! 😁 All the best 👍
Certainly a lovely village of Bradfield. Very scenic shots Patrick. Quite a history attached to the area too. Noticed another split notice sign (Public footpath). I liked the melodic switch between major and minor chords in your music. Effective.
Hi Shanita, yes I love it all around Bradfield and it's a lesser visited part of the Peak District in general. Great if sad history to it indeed. There are quite a few of those split signs in this area! 🙂 Thanks for your comments on my music as always. This is a theme I've used before, one of my favourite ones👍
Great video again Patrick. Driven through Bradfield plenty of times but never stopped off for a walk. I will give this a go and stop off at Bradfield Brewery for some bottles too 😊
Thanks Phil. Bradfield is worth a stop if you get the chance, beautiful area. Certainly worth it for the brewery, although I've still not visited that myself yet! 😁👍
A beautiful walk again Patrick. Not an area I know, although I was in Bradfield West Berkshire yesterday.
Glad you enjoyed it Kathryn, thanks for watching 👍
lovely walk Patrick...many of those paths are quite familiar to me
Cheers Steve, a lovely area as you'll know. All the best 👍
Interesting place and I do enjoy hearing about the history. That's on my list to visit and only an hour away. I remarked to my missus a few weeks ago that we haven't been able to get in to many churches lately.
Morning Steve, it's a lovely place indeed to visit, and it was a bonus on this occasion to be able to get inside a church at long last 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Beautiful - and the village seems so peaceful. By the way, did you treat yourself to some new headgear recently ? It looks pretty cool. 😇😁🤩
Thanks for watching Angus. Bradfield is a beautiful village indeed. I've had the headgear for a while to be honest, but I've only started wearing it on a regular basis more recently 👍
🤩
Such tragic history, what a horrific event 😔 However, it does appear over time the area has bounced back to life. Also, a very picturesque walking location too.
I do like seeing the national park millstone, always makes me smile when I pass it on my way in 😊I agree about the Peak District, it’s not the parts managed by the National Trust and it’s boundary. Lots of lovely Peaks on the Cheshire side too.
Hi Rachel, thanks for watching. Yes an awful history, but a lovely looking area today thankfully. One of the lesser known parts of the Peak District, so I certainly recommend 😊 Hope you are keeping well and hope to see you again soon👍
Living just down the other end of Loxley Road, near the Malin Bridge end of Hillsborough, I don't know if I should thank you or curse you😉 for helping to reveal the beauty of what is pretty much my second home, as I get out into the Bradfield area as much as I can. We Sheffielders like to keep this place a secret from the rest of the world so.......no, nothing to see here; please keep going to the Bakewells, Buxtons and Castletons of the Peak District rather than the Sheffield Lake District!😉
I also don't know if I should thank you or curse you for your comments. It's difficult when I read comments as opposed to if they're spoken to me in person, but I have to admit I don't know to take your comments. I assume you're having a joke here. I certainly hope so anyway.
@@solitaryrambler I hoped that the winky emojis would have let you know that I'm joking - especially the one after 'curse you'.
Apologies if you feel I could have made the jokiness clearer. The sentiment in my comment is very much a well worn trope around this part of Sheffield. You'll hear lots of people say something similar with tongue at least half planted in cheek.🙂
Patrick, very scenic walk, i liked big smile when church door opened, the suspense was killing me, is there bus service to the Bradfields? The fish in the reservoir taste quite different than haddock or cod with some nice chips . In Chicago, when walking you have to watch your back
Thanks Steven, yes that was a lovely surprise when i got inside the church! 😁 I've no idea about buses I'm afraid, although I'm sure I saw a bus stop or two in the villages. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Nice video and lovely scenery Patrick. Plus I like the music..I am not a fan of lots of vlogging . I know you aren't using the vloggy technique like some people are where you don't see anything else. only them .... It's nice to hear what you say though. You're a good communicator. And a nice friendly chap.
I'm still watching things like the Beauty of Borrowdale video hence my comparisons. Well done for creating another original piece of music
Cheers David. I'm much happier with my film making since Borrowdale, and also as I'm currently making a lot more films, I'm trying to make each day's filming and post-production work easier for myself. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@@solitaryrambler okay Patrick. I understand that actually. I still like the channel a lot. Nice one
