Walk directions
Turn left out of the car park and follow the main street as it winds left and right. After a quarter of a mile (400m), bear off to the right on a track signed to Hope. Beyond a farm, walk on beside Peakshole Water, shortly breaking away to cross a succession of fields. Later, after going through a small enclosed field, pass to the left of a hawthorn-topped hillock and then cross a railway line. The ongoing path leads to Pindale Road.

About the area
The natural features of this central English county range from the modest heights of the Peak District National Park, where Kinder Scout stands at 2,088 ft (636 m), to the depths of its remarkable underground caverns, floodlit to reveal exquisite Blue John stone. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the High Peak Trail which extends from the Derwent Valley to the limestone plateau near Buxton, and for many, the spectacular scenery is what draws them to the area.
