Overview

From Matlock the walk starts by going up the Limestone Way and progresses to Wensley through Jughole Woods and by Jughole Cave and Snitterton Hall. From Wensley we go through Clough Wood and Stanton Moor to Stanton in the Peak and on to Bakewell via Shiningbank Quarry to Haddon Hall and the path along the Wye.

This walk has some good views and points of interest but also has some steep and uneven paths which may be challenging in wet weather.
