Overview

A circular walk from Derbyshire Bridge Car Park (free parking with toilets).

The walk starts alongside the River Goyt as far as the ruins of Erwood Hall. It then rises steadily as far as Pym’s Chair, before returning along the ridge taking in Cats Tor and Shining Tor, with excellent views to both the east and west.

There is then a drop back down to the River Goyt for the return to the car park. Be aware there in no post code that will get you to the car park.
