Walk the Ethels: Lantern Pike
A moderate circular guided walk summiting Lantern Pike starting from the Sett Valley Trail car park in Hayfield. Suitable for adventurous families!
- Booking essential
In celebration of Ethel Haythornthwaite and 100 years of CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire, we are leading guided walks up the many Ethels on land cared for by the National Trust.
The Ethels are 95 hills in the Peak District named in tribute to Ethel Haythornthwaite, who founded CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire in 1924 (then called the Sheffield Association for the Protection of Rural Scenery.) Her activism saved Longshaw Estate from development and helped establish the Peak District as the UK’s first National Park in 1951.
Join us on a circular walk up the picturesque Lantern Pike from the Sett Valley Car Park in Hayfield. The walk will follow the Sett Valley Trail before joining the Pennine Bridleway and ascending Lantern Pike trig point. We will then circle back via the hamlet of Little Hayfield and back to the car park. The walk is approximately 5 miles and includes a moderately steep ascent.
Our walk leaders are incredibly knowledgeable, so please ask as many questions about the area as you like! Accompanied children are especially welcome but the walk is not suitable for pushchairs or prams.
