Overview

We begin walking slightly uphill through fields around the back of Treak Cliff and Blue John caverns before ascending, via Little Mam Tor, up to Rushup Edge. Passing Lord's Seat we then descend towards Rushup Hall to Sparrowpit, (a great cafe here), and continue to Perry Dale for our lunch stop. After bypassing Old Dam, we rise, passed disused mines, along Conies Dale towards Rowter Farm. We then traverse along part of Hope Valley towards Peak Cavern and finally descend towards Speedwell Cavern and the beginning.
