Broomhead circular is a peaceful walk in the Peak District National Park, taking in woodlands and glimpses across the reservoir. Although located on the doorstep of Sheffield, it is far enough off the beaten track to offer quiet solitude and immersion in nature. 

Starting point  – Yewtrees Lane (S36 3ZF) As you pass through Bolsterstone heading south theres a small area for parking on the left, part way down yewtrees lane.

Free parking area with limited spaces.

Here the path splits, you can either continue to moor hall reservoir or take a right and be greeted with a view  of the picturesque broomhall reservoir.

Turn toward the yorkshire water tower but don’t cross. 

Take another right turn so now you’re almost walking back on yourself with the reservoir on your your left.
