Walk description
We leave Crich via Coasthill and pass the Tramway Museum before reaching Crich Stand. We pass the outside of the quarry before making our way to Wakebridge. Travelling downhill through Oxhill Wood, we reach Whatstandwell and the Cromford canal. Part way along the canal towpath we will stop for lunch. After lunch we finish the canal side walk before steadily ascending Crich Chase. A scenic last half mile through farmland sees us return to Crich and the end of our walk.
