Above: The route passes through Danebower Quarry between 13 & 14 on the map.
Length: 7.1mls | Av. time: 3hrs
Start: Derbyshire Bridge car park
This fairly easy 7-mile walk starts from close to the source of the River Goyt at Derbyshire Bridge. The first section from the car park to the main road can get muddy, so walking shoes or boots are a good idea during autumn and winter, or following a lot of rain.
The walk goes over fairly bleak and open moorland to reach the remains of Danebower Quarry, and then crosses the River Dane, which is usually just a shallow stream at this point.
The popular landmark of Three Shires Head is fairly close to the route and well worth a detour – see orange dashes on the map from point 10.
