Departure from High Peak (Derbyshire)
A varied walk that takes in two Ethels (Grin Low, and High Edge). Beginning at Buxton Country Park, you head up through the former lime burning workings to the Victorian folly that is Solomon's Temple. Here, panoramic views are afforded. Continue down South-East towards Harpur Hill, then up and on to a section of the former Cromford & High Peak railway that goes around a disused quarry. You rise further, going up High Edge, then down to a farm. Here, you head North-North-West into different terrain, passing the HSE testing facility on your return.
