Walk along Bute Street roughly south-west, turning left when you reach Blachshaw Road, walk down Blackshaw Road for only 22m, turning right onto Dunne Road (a narrow road closed to vehicles), this brings you out onto Well Gate with the Wheatsheaf on your left and the Bulls Head on your right (take your pick!) Travel down Church Street past the old cross and left at the Queens Arms onto Shepley Street. Follow Shepley Street all the way to the end past the turning circle for the buses.
The Wheatsheaf dates from 1824 when Robert Shaw obtained a lease. The Bulls Head is the oldest public house in Glossop with parts of the building dating back to 1607. The old cross column is said to date from 1290 with the top added in 1912 to mark the accession of King George V in 1910. The Queens Arms was built by William Robinson a cotton manufacturer in 1825, name after Queen Victoria when an alehouse licence was given in 1837, the year of her ascension to the crown.
From Bute Street follow Blackshaw Clough up the hill until you reach a small bridge over the stream. Follow the path up the hill, through the small woodland up to Swineshaw Reservoir.
