The long preamble beside the Derwent and Howden reservoirs is a superb walk in itself and many folk would be satisfied to leave it at that. But carry on to climb out of Cranberry Clough onto Margery Hill and you are rewarded by some of the finest views in the whole of the Derwent Valley. The route meanders on at the rim of the high moor above a succession of rocky outcrops before gently descending along Howden Edge towards a deep valley biting far into the hill. After dropping through woods above Abbey Brook, the return retraces your outward steps beside the Derwent Reservoir. Inexperienced walkers are advised not to attempt the walk in poor visibility, for the hilltop path can be confusing in mist.

On Sundays, bank holidays and summer Saturdays, you can knock a couple of miles off the distance by taking the bus from Fairholmes to its terminus at King's Tree on the west bank of the Howden Reservoir. A track continues north beyond the head of
the lake, crossing the River Derwent at Slippery Stones to meet the main route at Point.
