Overview

Starting at the bus stop at Moscar on the A57 the walk initially heads north passing Moscar Lodge before heading west to cross Mortimer Road. We then follow a path past Moscar House Farm continuing along the valley to reach the Ladybower Inn. Here we continue on a pavement alongside the A6013 to Heatherdene (toilets) then along a path to the Ladybower Reservoir retaining wall. After crossing the wall we join a path along the old disused railway which is followed to its end at Water Lane. The walk then follows a field path to reach the A6187. Turning left here we pass the Hope Valley Garden Centre, cross the River Derwent, turn left into Mytham Bridge and the end of the walk at the bus stop.
