Overview

This is a coach trip walk to explore the landscape of North Derbyshire. Starting from the Longshaw Estate through Padley Gorge and Grindleford then through Hay Wood to experience the three Edges - Froggat, Curbar and a section of White Edge. The paths are clear with a climb through the woods up to the Edges after which the route is undulating. It is relatively easier than last year's Gritstone Trail.
