Overview

We start off from Hope Station and climb towards Aston, and then upwards through Win Hill plantation before the final push to the top. Weather permitting you will be rewarded by fantastic views. We then descend through lovely woods alongside Ladybower reservoir before a gentle climb up to Edale Cross. We then descend, initially via the old Roman Road, but then taking a path down to Norman’s Farm. We then follow the river Noe back into Hope
