The Canons' Path

This path, despite its width, still manages to be quite atmospheric on the right day. After a fairly level section on the route up from the Beauchief settlement on the way to the farmhouse this is where it starts to climb again for another half mile to the gates of the pasture. It really does feel quite arduous if you've walked all the way from Totley. I wonder if the white canons were on foot or horseback? The sign saying public footpath is misaligned and should be pointing left to an overgrown path along the stream. The main path is actually a bridleway.
