Inn Way ... to the Peak District

Derbyshire

135 km / 84 miles
This is a long distance (84 miles/135 km), 6-day circular walk through the Peak District via 53 traditional country pubs. It includes information on history, geography, places of interest, traditional inns, routes & maps.

This new long distance circular walking route takes in the very best of the Peak District from the wilds of Kinder Scout to the dramatic Eastern Edges, gentle pastoral landscape of Chatsworth and the beautiful limestone dales of the White Peak.

Starting and finishing at Hayfield, Stage One of the route skirts around Kinder Scout then heads through the Woodlands Valley to Hathersage. Stage Two traces the Eastern Edges southwards high above the Derwent Valley to reach Baslow. Stage Three is gentler, with a stroll through Chatsworth Park then across the mystical landscape of Stanton Moor to Youlgreave. Stage Four heads up through the beautiful limestone valleys of the White Peak to Tideswell. Stage Five explores Eyam before heading over to Castleton. Stage Six traverses the famous Great Ridge over to Edale and then follows the packhorse route back to Hayfield.

This is the sixth book in the "The Inn Way..." series of walking guidebooks from Mark Reid, the award-winning publisher of the "Walking Weekends..." books. After 2 years of research, walking over 600 miles of footpaths and visiting around 100 pubs "The Inn Way... to the Peak District" was published in May 2007.

Update November 2022:
The closure of the footbridge adjacent to Cressbrook Weir, Derbyshire for safety reasons was announced in August 2022. The bridge is part of the permissive path which descends from the Monsal Trail at SK 172724 to the weir at SK 172728. A diversion might make use of the minor road between Monsal Head and Cressbrook. 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,
