Sheffield Shamblers Walking Group - Cromford - Sunday 17th June

Recommended Posts

NEW WALKERS ALWAYS WELCOME

 

Description

 

This is a 10.5 mile walk taking us 5 hours plus stoppages. It starts from the Black Rocks Parking area above Cromford, taking us onto the High Peak Trail and through Middleton Top, Callow, Kirk Ireton, Bolehill and back to Black Rocks.

 

The description describes it as a rewarding walk offering great views in places. The route and terrain takes us through fields, woodlands, down country lanes, through farm land and across one or two roads. The pub visited on route is described as a real ale pub, serving beer from the barrels rather than from the pumps.
