Overview

With fabulous views over Ladybower Reservoir to the Dark Peak moors, the Great Ridge and the Derwent Valley, this walk follows an old railway track then up and along the craggy Bamford Edge before decending one of the UK's steepest lanes.

We will finish near The Anglers Rest - Bamford's community owned pub and coffee shop - where a pint/pie/coffee/cake will be available.
