Overview

Starting from Alstonefield we are soon in pretty countryside and have a coffee break with great views before gently descending Narrowdale. We walk through wonderful Wolfscote Dale beside the delightful Dove. Then we have our first stiff ascent, we will each take it at our pace and stop for lunch near the top. Then it is flat for a while, we walk a section of the Tissington trail. The code of conduct is to walk on the left no more than 2 abreast and let cyclists pass on our right. Then across Shining Tor and a steep zig zag descent into Milldale. Here we have a proper toilet stop before our second (last) very steep ascent back to Alstonefield.
