Walks

The walk starts at 10.30am from Cutthroat Bridge Car Park on the A57, grid reference SK 21607 87420, post code S10 4QZ (but this postcode covers a huge area and is unhelpful!) There is plenty of parking. It is free but devoid of facilities.

Directions to start:  Coming from Glossop on the A57, after about 13 miles you will cross Ladybower Reservoir and then reach traffic lights with a right turn for the A6013. Continue on the A57 and after about a mile you will see Cutthroat Bridge Car Park, a large lay-by, on the right, just after a bend and poorly signed

Coming from the A6, as you bypass Chapel-en-le-Frith bear left on the Sheffield Road for Castleton. Take Winnat’s Pass down to Castleton and follow the A6187 through Hope. Just over 2 miles after leaving Hope turn left at lights for the A6013 signed Ladybower. 2.8 miles later, turn right at the lights to take the A57, and the car park will be on the right hand side just over a mile later, just after a bend and poorly signed.

The walk: Leaving the Car Park, we will quickly cross the A57 and gradually ascend to Derwent Edge, with magnificent rock formations and views of Ladybower Reservoir. Just before Back Tor, we will bear right on a track which leads us down to Strines Bridge. Here we again bear right on a quiet road alongside Strines Moor, with views over to Strines Reservoir on the left and grouse moors on the right, before again turning right on a well-defined track through sheep fields back to the Car Park. 

The paths and tracks are generally good and gaiters will be unnecessary unless there has been recent heavy rain. Ascents and descents are gradual.

The walk starts at 10am Adlington Road car park Bollington SK10 5JT

This is the same car park we have used for many recent walks.

We leave Bollington by the canal followed by several pastures before arriving at Higher Hurdsfield. A delightful ridge walk follows with magnificent views to Carofold.

The Saddle of Kerridge follows leading us on to White Nancy. Descending White Nancy we walk around the back of Bollington before dropping down back to Bollington. 

NOTE LATER STARTING TIME

The walk starts at 10.30 am from the Burbage Bridge car park which is between Stanage and Burbage edges above Hathersage. The car park is Upper Burbage Bridge Car Park, Ringinglow Road, Hope Valley S32 1BR.  The post code is not much use to find the car park as it covers such a large area.  But the car park is on the Ringinglow Road 2 miles from the turn off the A6187. 

 We walk along part of Stanage Edge, then turn towards Stanage Pole and the three Redmires reservoirs.  From the bottom reservoir we walk south towards Burbage Moor, across Burbage Moor and then along Burbage Edge back to the carpark.  There should be very good views to the east and west if the day is fine.  There is not a lot of up and down on this route, but the paths along the edges are a bit of a scramble and may well be wet if it has rained.  Gaiters could be useful. 

To get to the start:  Find your way into the Hope Valley and take the A6187 into and through Hathersage.  After Hathersage you pass the Millstone Inn, a large pub painted grey on the LHS of the road.  Shortly after this, take a road on your left signed Ringinglow.  (The road is unnamed at the bottom.)  Follow this road for two miles.  Ignore the layby parking, cross the cattle grid.  The Burbage Bridge carpark (free) is on the RHS after two miles.  The car park is not very large, but if it is full there is alternative parking on the roads nearby.

There are no loos in the car park or en route.  You may want to stop at the public loos in Castleton or Hope on the way to the start.

As the walk is on the other side of the Peak District we will organise a meet and greet at the Hazel Grove Park and Ride - details to follow.

Outline: An circuit that includes Rushup Edge and Mam Tor providing great views in every direction. The descent into and ascent out of the Edale Valley bottom are both via unusual routes.

Difficulty: The descent path into the Edale Valley bottom is very steep. Many of the paths in the Edale Valley may be muddy.
