The mile-long stretch of the old Cromford & High Peak Railway line is perfect for a short walk in glorious surroundings.
A circular route
Many people just walk along the level track to the tunnel at the far end and back again. But this walk provides a more interesting circular route, dropping down the valley beside Wildmoorstone Brook.
Extending the walk
And for anyone wanting more of a challenge, the walk is easily extended by following the orange dashes from 8 on the map to reach close to the shoreline of Errwood Reservoir, returning up Old Goyt’s Lane.
