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.
Shorter and longer options
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
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.
