Overview

Starting from near Chunal, south of Glossop, this walk explores the often rugged countryside to the east of Cown Edge. After climbing up to Higher Plainstead Farm, we join the Cown Edge Way, then Slack Edge, before descending to High Lane and the village of Simmondley. From here there is a steady climb to Whiteley Nab before heading back to the start.
