Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Nine and a half miles there and back on the old Midland Railway line, four hours at a stroll, and level enough that the only work is the distance itself. It starts at Hassop Station two miles north of Bakewell, where the pay car park has a cafe and bookshop and fills by mid-morning at weekends; the four lit tunnels come in the second half. The surface is smooth grit the whole way, which makes this the kindest walk in Derbyshire for an old or arthritic dog, but it is shared with cyclists and horses, so close control matters more than a lead, and there is no water on the trail itself between the stations.
