High Peak Way
For thirty miles between Chinley and Grindleford, the High Peak Way takes in some of the finest scenery in the Dark Peak. There's hidden gems like Cracken Edge, mighty hilltops like Mam Tor, and rocky fun like Stanage Edge.
Created as a 'challenge walk' for those who find pleasure in walking insane distances in one day, it also makes a fine multi-day walk for those wanting to explore the Peak District National Park.
