We are the East Cheshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From Hope, to the railway sidings, then on the Roman Road to Hope Cross. From there we ascend via Crookstone Hill, onto Crookstone Out Moor and towards Madwoman's Stone. Continuing on the plateau we pass Druid's Stone, and from just below Ringing Roger, we descend into Grindsbrook Booth. From there we take the Pennine Way to Upper Booth, then over to Barber Booth and ascend to Hollins Cross. We then descend into Castleton and follow the river back to Hope.
A moderate/strenuous walk of around 14 miles with 2460 ft of ascent (OS Maps).
Mostly good paths, but also some that are uneven.
Please bring picnic lunch, snacks and plenty of drinking water.
Sorry no dogs.
PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE ON THE DAY FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE WALK. NB Finish times are intended as a guide only. You do not need to book a place on this walk. Ramblers Association recommends that all walkers carry ICE (in case of emergency) information
Start: 9:30am from outside the toilet block at Hope CP. Hope CP is a pay car park, accepts cards and phone payment, but you can often find free roadside parking nearby.
