Length: 7.8mls | Av. time: 3.35hrs
Start: Bishop’s Lane, Buxton
This eight-mile circular walk starts at Burbage, on the western edge of Buxton, passing along easy moorland paths to Errwood Reservoir, before returning to the starting point on Bishop’s Lane. It’s a fairly easy walk, with no steep slopes. But it can get muddy in places – particularly after rain – so walking boots are recommended.
It’s a pleasant 40-minute walk to the start point from Buxton Station, and there’s also a regular bus service which stops close to the start on St John’s Road. The nearest large car park is at the Pavilion Gardens, off Burlington Road
