Overview

A circular walk from Hathersage taking in Stanage and Bamford Edges and visiting the Hordron Edge stone circle.

The route goes via Carr Head and Carr Head Rocks, then a climb up to Stanage Edge and along to Crow Chin before crossing Moscar Moor. After a short diversion to visit the stone circle there is a second climb  up to Bamford Edge, affording great views over Ladybower (weather permitting!)

The return route to Hathersage will be gently downhill via Upper Hirst farm and Birley farm

 No dogs please.
