There are lots of options on this walk from Buxton’s most iconic landmark, the Duke of Devonshire’s Crescent, heading first through two of the town’s parks – The Pavilion Gardens and The Serpentine.
The route can be easily shortened by following the blue dashes on the map between 5-8. It can also be extended by following the yellow dashes from point 12, along the old Cromford & High Peak Railway track.
Burbage Edge offers some wonderful views, but the moorland paths can get very muddy during Autumn and Spring so walking shoes or boots are recommended.
