Overview

This is a linear walk from Whirlow to Baslow taking in three Edges for great views over the countryside. It starts at Whirlow Brook going up the Limb Valley to Ringinglow, then through Lady Cannings Plantation, past the Ox Stones and onto the rim of Burbage Rocks. From there we walk down through to the Longshaw Estate to Froggatt Edge and Curbar Edge. We then drop below Baslow Edge walking past Lady Wall Well to Baslow Nether End to catch the bus back to Sheffield.

This walk involves crossing a small stream with stepping stones. There will be a few stiles. There may also be mud!

No dogs please.
