The top of the Howden reservoir has some very rough, sometimes wet, and wild moorland. But don't be put off as there is a special magic to this area of the Peak District. The walk starts at King's Tree and then reaches the interesting stones at Grinah and Barrow Stones before descending Lower Small Clough and back alongside the River Derwent.
