The Burbage Valley is a short distance from the edge of Sheffield and as such is busy. There is a nice walk for all down and up the Green Drive; from the north to south bridges and back. Burbage Edge itself is a typical Gritstone Edge with the rock climbs being great for introductory rock climbing. On most days you will see many a keen climber out practising their skills. The rocks on Higgar Tor are in a different and more difficult class. This an interesting walk around the Burbage Valley starting at Burbage North Bridge. It is also possible to start at the car park just east of Surprise View on the A6187. From Burbage North Bridge means downhill first then uphill - which is different from most walks. In busy times the car parks here are busy but overall but there is always some space in the car parks or along the road to Higgar Tor
