Golden Miles

Derbyshire

56 km / 35 miles
A 35 mile circular walk starting from Ashford-in-the-Water through 20 Derbyshire villages visiting Great Longstone, Monsal Head, Cressbrook, Wardlow, Foolow, Great Hucklow, Bretton, Abney, Shatton, Bamford, Hathersage, Grindleford, Froggatt, Calver, Baslow, Chatsworth, Edensor, Bakewell and back to Asford-in-the-Water.

The path and footbridge originally provided a through route from Monsaldale to Millersdale before the opening of the Monsal Dale tunnels. The Peak District National Park Authority are seeking funding for a replacement bridge,
