Thursday short walk – Brassington

18th May 2023

The start point is the picnic area, Wirksworth Dale, Brassington, map
reference 235 548. From here we walk through Brassington and take the
footpath leading to the Limestone Way. We cross the Limestone Way taking
a footpath to the road. We then pick up a footpath in the direction of
Pinders Rock, turning on a track before Hoe Grange. This takes us to the
High Peak trail which offers level walking, past Longcliffe, onto the foot of
Harbro rocks. Crossing Manystones Lane and over the meadows to our
start point. Approximately 5.5 miles but various opportunities to shorten if
needed, indeed it can also be lengthened! A few stiles but they are all in
good condition. A steady, relatively easy walk giving opportunity for much
talking.


Very little amenities, well none! Water and food advised.
