Start :- Car park above Hathersage near Dennis Knoll woods ,
just below Stanage edge.
There was about a mile of road walking to start with – down
from the car park and along Bole Hill before taking a footpath on the right
which laeds onto Bamford moor. Access to Bamford Edge has only recently been
given (sometime in the last few years , so there aren’t many footpaths marked.
However, it was straightforward navigating to get to the edge from this footpath and soon I was walking along the edge enjoying fantastic views of Ladybower and Win Hill. I got to the highest point – Great Tor and sat for a bite to eat whilst enjoying the superb views.

I wasn’t
feeling to good on this day so decided to cut the walk short and head across
Bamford moor (no footpaths) back to the car park. I set my satnav to the os ref
of the car park and set off across the moor. This was quite a pleasant walk
considering the lack of paths. One nice surprise was a stone circle in the
middle of the moor. I was soon back at the car park.
A pleasant , but short walk with sensational views. When I
go back again I’ll avoid the road section and head off across the moor.
About 3 miles OS O 1 Dark Peak
