Overview

A good walk for a summer's day! Some ups and downs taking in some great views across the Derwent Valley. Walking through Lea, we aim to get up to Crich for lunch before beginning the gentle descent to pick up the Cromford canal back to the car park. 

We'll be walking through wooded areas and open fields some paths and tracks and a bit of road walking to link it all together. 

Ice creams can be had at the information hut back at High Peak Junction.
