Overview

We head downhill from Eyam to Stoney Middleton then walk along Coombs Dale towards Rowland and Great Longstone. Then it’s back to Eyam via Longstone Moor and Foolow.
This is a walk of ups and downs with one steep ascent in Black Plantation heading up to Longstone Moor.

There’s one long section of walking along a quiet road and we’ll be crossing a couple of very busy roads.

If it’s a clear day, we’ll have panoramic views!
