This easy, three-mile circular walk follows the old lane which was once the main route into the hamlet of Goyt’s Bridge from Buxton before it vanished under the waters of Errwood Reservoir.
Moorland and the old railway
It then meanders across open moorland before returning along the disused track of the Cromford & High Peak Railway line.
Wonderful views
The walk can get muddy along the moorland section, but it’s one of the easiest in this series. It also includes some wonderful views; both across Errwood Reservoir, and from the old railway track.
