Overview

This is the third stage of our ‘Walk to Manchester’, following the Steel-Cotton Trail.

Meet in the foyer at Sheffield Station to catch the 10:14 train to Grindleford Station, where the walk starts at 10:30. The route takes us down to the River Derwent, which we then follow, passing by Hathersage and Bamford, through Shatton, and finishing at Hope Station. 

We'll be walking on woodland, riverbank and field paths, which could be very muddy. The walk is mostly level with a couple of moderate ups and downs. 

Follow the website link to see leaflets describing the walk: note we have combined 3 sections for our route.

Please contact the leader in advance (text preferred) if you have not walked with the group before. No dogs please.
