Walk description
Starting from the Longshaw Visitors Centre this walk takes us through part of the Longshaw Estate to White Edge before descending to Padley Gorge near Nether Padley.
Emerging from the Longshaw Estate at Grindleford, the walk then gently ascends as it crosses farmland and more woodland until we emerge briefly at Hathersage Booths, high above Hathersage itself.
There is then a short, steep descent over fields right down into the valley bottom where we walk in beautiful woodland beside the River Derwent, through the wooded valley until almost back in Grindleford.
Crossing the railway line, there is a short, gentle climb, followed by an even shorter, steep climb into Upper Padley, from where there is a gentle woodland stroll which ends at Longshaw Lake and then back to the Visitors Centre.
This is a 9.5 mile walk.
