フロッグガットウッドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Plenty of wildlife pictures to be taken there, with ducks and other birds

This was very quiet when I went, but it is a beautiful spot near Longshaw Lond

Enjoy a hike through Froggatt Edge to get to Longshaw Estate and up to Froggatt Edge

Use to be a old army hospital slot of history at this place

Longshaw Lodge was built around 1827 as a shooting retreat for the Duke of Rutland, a grand "shooting box" for his guests, including King George V. It later served as an auxiliary hospital during the First World War, providing therapy and using local moss for dressings. After the war, it became a holiday guesthouse before being converted into private flats in 1969. The Longshaw Estate, where the lodge is located, was purchased by the people of Sheffield and donated to the National Trust in 1931.

Great place for wildlife - small variety - frogs seen swimming and sitting on a rock, and we counted 6 Meadow Fritillary butterflies in the 10 minutes it took to filter a top up of drinking water

Along the route - some great wildlife - we saw 6 Meadow Fritillary butterflies and one frog!

This is a lovely and fairly easy walk. My tip, when you reach the bog, you'll know when, don't follow the Komoot crossing point. Move 25 yards to the right to cross and that way you'll keep your feet dry.
