Overview

Starting from Litton, we will head to Tansley Dale, cross the stream, and climb to the top of the hill to enjoy the views. From there, we will descend into Cressbrook Dale and join the Monsal Trail via the Cressbrook Weir bridge. Afterward, we will leave the trail to head toward Little Longstone, climbing up to Watersaw Rake and walking across Longstone Moor to Foolow. Finally, we will pass Peter Stone before heading back to Litton.
