Hampton Loade

A walk from Hay Bridge, via Chelmarsh reservoir, to Hampton Loade – and back along the riverside path.

Curiously, the Yorkshire Dales poster uses a few lines of Housman’s “A Shropshire Lad” to extol their virtues…

Across the glittering pastures
And empty upland still
And solitude of shepherds
High in the folded hill
