We are the Biddulph Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from the roadside by the entrance to Poole’s Cavern (toilets) we ascend Buxton Country Park for views from Solomon’s Temple. We descend via Grinlow Park (toilets not working on recce 22/4) to head South past Stanely Moor Reservoir (disused) and around Buxton Raceway and Staker hill. We descend to follow old railway tracks and fields past the bookshop at Brierlow Bar. Crossing the busy road, we follow Back Dale and Deep Dale before a steep climb along the Mid-Shires Way. We walk down Kidtor Dale and up Cow Dale and then Westwards via Staden before rejoining the Country Park and back to the cars.
Mainly moderate
Rocky surfaces in Deep Dale preceded by more strenuous steep ascent. Poles may be useful.
Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers. Non-members are allowed up to three sample walks with rambler groups before they would be expected to join the ramblers.
Roadside on Green lane close to entrance to Poole's Cavern. Or on ££ cavern car park. Note later start at 10am (reason: toilets)
