Derbyshire

56 km / 35 miles
A 35 mile circular walk starting from Ashford-in-the-Water through 20 Derbyshire villages visiting Great Longstone, Monsal Head, Cressbrook, Wardlow, Foolow, Great Hucklow, Bretton, Abney, Shatton, Bamford, Hathersage, Grindleford, Froggatt, Calver, Baslow, Chatsworth, Edensor, Bakewell and back to Asford-in-the-Water.

UPDATE October 2025
A new bridge has been installed adjacent to Cressbrook Weir and was fully opened in December 2024.

UPDATE March 2026
There has been a footpath closure between Great Hucklow and Bretton between points SK 18726 78023 and SK 19475 77848 since 2022 which will be in place until at least 1st June 2027.
