Overview

The walk begins by parking on the roadside between The Druids Inn and the Red Lion in Birchover. From here, we go along a track and across fields towards Birchover Lane, which is a narrow lane and then to Upper Town and along Clough Lane. We then proceed towards Stanton Moor, where we pass the Nine Ladies Stone Circle. We then follow well used paths towards Stanton Lees and then Rowsley. We return towards Stanton in the Peak and then to Birchover. There are some hills.
