Overview

A longer version of the Ring of Trees walk originally devised by Buxton Round Table. From Grinlow car park, the route descends through the woods to Burbage then along an old railway line to the west. It drops down through the golf course, then climbs again to Corbar Hill to the north. It follows more woods, then passes through the town centre, taking in the park, the iconic spring and the town square before taking another loop to the south
