This was a different walk to the usual wander up the canal and then to Black Rock. The Starting point was the car park at Cromford Wharf. However, the route went back to the road, under the railway bridge and then onto a footpath up the hill and through the woods.
The path then climbed to Hearthstone Lane (still a footpath), which was effectively the high point. Turn right down to Castletop farm and then picking up the footpath through Bow Wood.
As the path came out of Bow wood , there was a short road section down the hill. To the left is a footpath which crosses a footpath over the Derwent and then to High Peak Junction,
The return to the car park is an easy stroll along the canal tow path.
This is an excellent new walk to add to the close by starts.
About 4 miles OS OL 24.
