Walk description
After leaving the car park (opposite Blue John Cavern), we have a gentle walk up to a section of the Limestone Way and pass several disused lead mines before walking along the scenic Dam Dale.
After lunch at Peak Forest, there is a gradual ascent to the left of Conies Dale where we descend gradually to rejoin the path at Windy Knoll and back to the car park.
There are several stone stiles but no strenuous hills throughout the walk.
