Glossop Take 1

A Peak District walk that explores the often rugged countryside on the eastern flank of Cown Edge. The route uses a mixture of paths, tracks and quiet country lanes. In places careful navigation is essential.

Bleaklow and Higher Shelf Stones feature in this Peak District walk from Old Glossop. Other highlights include the Wain Stones, Yellow Stacks and Doctor's Gate. This moorland can be wild and desolate in bad weather so save this walk for a dry day with good visibility.

An easy stroll along a pretty stream valley known locally as Little Switzerland.

A walk including three gritstone edges, all with fabulous views: Coombes Rocks overlook the village of Charlesworth; Cown Edge is a partly quarried edge with views to Kinder Scout, and Lantern Pike
is a well-known local summit.

A breezy walk to an ancient monument, with wide views over Manchester and the Cheshire Plain.

A fairly gradual ascent to a heathery hilltop and viewpoint, with a steep descent and a return through farmland.

A varied all-day hike with close-up views of Kinder Scout. Several moderate climbs and descents.

Start and finish at The Little Mill Inn, walk beside Rowarth Brook up the wooded valley (known as Little Switzerland to the locals) and then head uphill to the moors above Rowarth for amazing views of The Peak District, Kinder Scout and the Cheshire plain.
