Route Description

A stiff uphill to start, but rewarded with beautiful views.

Leaving the car park we soon begin our steady ascent up to the Moor, getting the hard bit out of the way first! The higher we climb we have increasing views towards Haddon Hall and the beautiful surrounding countryside. Then we pass through woodland to skirt Stanton in the Peak and onto the Moor, most of the climbing is now done (honestly). We soon reach the ‘ladies’ and on to the old quarries, where we’ll stop for our lunch. Our return now takes us across the Moor and past more old quarries, eventually dropping back down into Rowsley, and, no doubt, a nice drink.
