- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2023
- Join me on a 5 mile circular hike from the village of Bamford to Bamford Edge & then on to Ladybower Reservoir before returning via the Thornhill Trail to Bamford. This is a brilliant fairly short & easy option for anyone looking to do a half-day walk in the Peak District. As always, I hope you enjoy this video and thank you so much for watching!

I did this for the first time today. I wouldn't call it easy, but I am slightly disabled and it's the first walk like this I've ever done. So I'm proud of myself for doing it! Also the views are incredible! 😊
Aw nice, really well done - hope you enjoyed it & that the views were worth the ascent to the ridge 🙌🏻😊
Mate if you are proud of yourself, we are also proud of you ❤️❤️❤️
Born and spent my younger years in Bamford. Fabulous area and fond memories. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
It’s a beautiful part of the UK - nice to hear you’ve got fond memories! Thanks for watching Jan, glad you enjoyed 🫶🏻
Every morning I look at Bamford edge from my son,s bedroom window.I feel I am so lucky to have this incredible view!Great video.
Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video🫶🏻 definitely very lucky to have such a good view on your doorstep!
Thanks for the reply!
Beautiful video again, Christine. Made my morning better. I wanna go to the forest with dogs when watching it :-) Take care and thanks. Jan
Glad to hear it Jan & thank you 😊🙌🏻 the forest was truly lovely to walk around & explore, my favourite section of the walk so couldn’t agree more! Have a good rest of the week 🫶🏻
@@shefreelyroams Thanks a lot :-)
What a fun walk Christine. Thank you for all the work and effort that goes into sharing your hikes with us. Your videos are very well done and always seem to lift my spirits and put a smile on my face. Have a great week and thanks again!
Thank you Shane - I really enjoyed this walk, really varied! & thank you so much for the kind words, genuinely happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos ☺️🙌🏻 you too, hope you had a good weekend too! 💛
Another wonderful video, the Peaks are special, I have visited Edale twice now and hike around Kinder as far out to downfall, Mam tor and the great ridge, stunning area
If you are ever in Cornwall or Devon give me a shout I will be hiking somewhere with my van and I will get the kettle on 👍 enioy your next adventure
Thanks Andrew, really nice to hear you enjoyed this one too - as you say, the Peaks are an incredible place, love the Edale valley! Yet to do Mam Tor but hopefully next time 🤞🏻
Thank you - love Cornwall/Devon too, so many beautiful beaches & coastline your way 😍 & will do!
A short walk maybe but lots thrown in! Awesome views, rock formations, forests, reservoirs. Absolutely lots to enjoy. Thankyou 🙂
It was definitely a beautifully varied walk Tony - really enjoyed it! Glad you liked the video & thanks again for tagging along 😊🫶🏻
@@shefreelyroams Hi Christine. Im just revisiting your walk due to the fact me and my son have just had a couple of days staying in Edale with my brother. We walked from his cottage in Edale to Ladybower Reservoir. Very breezy and lots of ups and downs with a steep descent to the reservoir itself. We didnt get as far as the dam but it was a stunning area albeit very muddy after all the rain. We saw Bamford edge in the distance what a viewing point that is! We also went up Mam Tor from Castleton the day after before heading home. What a gorgeous little place that is. So many walks and so much beauty 😍
Lovely video...its one of my favourite places..😊
Thanks Paul - can see why, the landscape is beautiful there 😍🙌🏻
Another delighful video. Thank you Christine 😊
Thanks Nicola & thanks for the recommendation for the next Peak District visit on insta! Hope you had a good weekend 🫶🏻💛
nice walk done it many times did bamford edge ,standedge edge together last week awesum.
Great walk, please you’ve enjoyed doing it too Andrew & you’re right Stanage Edge is another great spot, love sunsets there 🙌🏻💛
Dear Christine,
A very nice hike, thanks for sharing the video 🤗 You had chosen the most beautiful point for your break. A great view and a great nature. During the ascent and descent I noticed the fern, it seemed to me to be a lot of fern 😊
The purple flower that you filmed is called "red thimble" with us, this wild flower is known in pharmacy. The spare wheel is beautiful and I have already written to you for my preference for wild swimming. I can imagine that it is forbidden there 🚫
Thanks for the video Christine and have a nice weekend ☀
Kind regards Gerold
Thanks Gerold - happy to hear you enjoyed this video too 😊💛 & yes very varied walk to enjoy! The purple flower is known here as Foxgloves - beautiful contrast to the ferns. And yes you’re right, swimming in reservoirs in the UK is illegal, no matter how tempting they can appear at times!
Hope you had a nice weekend too Gerold 🙌🏻✨
Love your walks ❤❤❤
Thanks Phil - pleased you’re still enjoying them 🫶🏻 hope you had a good weekend! 💛
Brilliant veiws good stuff ❤
Thank you, pleased you enjoyed the video 😊
Looks a great walk, thanks for sharing 😊
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Thank you - definitely recommend this walk if not yet done it, really beautiful circular! Hope you had a good weekend too 💛😊
@@shefreelyroams no we haven't, it's another one on our list to do 😊
Have a great week
😁 Nice video Christine and one of my fave spots for sunrise and sunset watching. Usually very busy up on the edge, but looked like you had it virtually all to yourself 👍 Agreed on the first section from Bamford, definatley gives the legs a workout 🤣😁 Have a great weekend ..
Thanks Mike - it’s a beautiful walk for sure, definitely want to go back there for sunset next time I’m up that way 👍🏻 yes pretty quiet midweek for me, passed a few walking groups though! Absolute killer that section, no need for a warm up 🤣😅
Cheers, hope you had a good one too ☺️
Awesome scenery
Thanks Dave - beautiful landscape in the Peaks 💛🙌🏻
Awesome. You must’ve walked so much having to go back and get the camera! Worth it by the shots though.
Haha yeah it definitely adds a bit of distance to the hike! The only down side of hiking solo! Pleased you enjoyed the video 🫶🏻😊
Fabulous..just found this..one of our fav places.. can't do it now tho 👍
It’s a beautiful circular walk, glad you’ve managed to enjoy it Alison before and thank you for watching 🫶🏻 sorry to hear you can’t do this walk currently though
Great image at 4.00. Nice trip out for you. Best wishes.
Thank you, it was a great day for it 🌞😊
More lovely views from the peaks 😊...looks like the reservoir could do with a bit more water...I wonder if you could kayak through that overflow drain 🫣😃
Cheers Tommo 😊💛 and yeah it looked completely different to when I saw it last November & haha I wouldn’t recommend you give it a go! Looked pretty out of use back on this walk … 🙃
That steep lane out of Bamford is a proper thigh burner going up and a knee rattler going down.
Tell me about it! Really good to get that out of the way at the start of the walk - wasn’t expecting it to be as bad as it was! No need for a warm up…
Do you have the route guide for this as wouldn’t mind taking my two young daughters and my wife for a day out
This is the OSMaps route I roughly followed starting and ending in Bamford (I took a detour in the forest to extend that part) - enjoy 😊
explore.osmaps.com/route/11145882/bamford-edge
What a nice walk. If you can
Could you please send me the trail link of the route u took? Im thinking about going there soon
Hey 👋🏻 it was a lovely walk, can definitely recommend! This is the OSMaps route I roughly followed starting and ending in Bamford (I took a detour in the forest to extend that part)

@@shefreelyroams thank you so much
Do you park at heatherdene car park for this trail?
Not for this one, I parked in the village of Bamford and did the circular from there 😊
@@shefreelyroams thank you for your reply. I shall try that
@@jay-1 hope you enjoy!
Nice video but always prefer walking videos without music. Also why is it transposed left to right?
Thanks Peter & I can appreciate that, unfortunately I really enjoy creating videos with music to accompany the hike 🙃 but can appreciate it isn’t going to be for everyone! & not sure I understand what you mean on the transposed…?
@@shefreelyroams The part showing your rucksack is a mirror image as the Osprey wording is yerpsO. The landscape is also a mirror image , just a bit disconcerting when you recognize it. The first time I have noticed it on your videos , others do it a lot more. Love your smile.
Ahh yes I see what you mean now - it’s when I shoot in selfie mode it mirrors the clip. Will try and edit this out in future videos, thanks for flagging 🙌🏻
& thank you, hope you’re enjoying the videos 😊💛
