This short walk is probably the easiest in this series, but includes one of the most scenic spots in the valley, as it runs down to the River Goyt (which is very much a stream at this point).
The section between points 4 and 5 is along a solid track making it ideal for wheelchair users, or those with small children and pushchairs. And there’s a small layby just beyond the gate to park.
There are also some great paces for picnics, alongside the Goyt. The walk then continues to the ancient packhorse bridge, just a short distance further, returning along the narrow lane (which is one-way traffic, coming from the direction of the car park).
