A 26 mile walk in the White Peak of Derbyshire with views of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall and the beautiful scenery of the Derbyshire Dales...
A friendly and (mostly!) non-competitive event that welcomes both walkers and runners. Starting in the village of Baslow and wandering through Chatsworth Park, Edensor, Over Haddon, Sheldon, Monsal Dale, Cressbrook Dale, Foolow, Eyam, Froggatt and Calver, then passing through Bramley Wood and Bank Wood to return to Baslow.
The route shown is the one recommended by the event organisers, although you can choose your own route between each checkpoint so long as you stay on public rights of way.
