Overview

8 minute walk to Market Place (southbound) bus stop to catch 442 Buxton - Ashbourne bus at 08:48. Alight at the Square, Hartington at 09:28. Route: Walk back via Carder Low*, Pilsbury Hill*, High Wheeldon*, Hitter Hill, skirt round Parkhouse Hill*, Chrome Hill*, Booth Farm, Thirkelow, Diamond Hill and Grin Low* (Solomon's Temple) back to the Pavilion Gardens. Bring bus pass or £3.00 fare. Descent from High Wheeldon is fairly steep. Bring poles if you use them. We are not climbing Parkhouse Hill as the descent north is too severe. Bring packed lunch. Lambs in fields, so no dogs please. If you are joining the walk, please text John on 07546 593281. Refreshment options in the Buxton Pavilion afterwards.
