Turn left over Grinds Brook, then right onto a short stepped footpath up to the lychgate. Follow the part-paved path beyond, to a track. ( 11) Turn left at the end of the next field and pass to the right of a stone barn. ( 10) A short path on the left leads up to the road cross over and follow a fieldside path to a squeeze stile, then cross diagonally to pass under the railway bridge. Join the farm track and follow it downhill and over the river. At Hollins Farm, keep left over a short boardwalk and down a flight of steps. At a fork, take the right-hand path, along the wall. ( 9) Cross the ridge path then take the left-hand path, which descends steeply towards Edale. Climb to the top of the ridge (Hollins Cross). On reaching open country, turn half-left and follow the obvious path angling up the hillside. ( 8) After 1 mile, when the lane ends at the entrance to Woodseats Farm (The Liggate), follow the tree-lined bridleway ahead. Follow the lane between houses and then out of the village. ( 7) At the main road, keep straight on past the Primary School, then cross over into Millbridge. Turn left along Back Street, passing the church. ( 6) Back at the road, turn right across the bridge and walk up to the War Memorial. Having inspected the cave entrance, leave the gorge via the footpath alongside the stream. ( 5) Join the lane and take the first right, to Peak Cavern. ( 4) Just beyond the cavern, turn right onto a footpath that leads along the foot of Long Cliff, keeping left to reach a lane in Castleton. Walk down the gorge as far as Speedwell Cavern. Cross over and follow a path that passes to the left of a farm to meet the road at the top of Winnats Pass. ( 3) Cross the road onto the footpath opposite just before a small quarry turn left, passing the entrance to Windy Knoll Cave before descending to the road. Otherwise, when the road bends right, take the footpath straight on, through a gate and down a sloping field. ( 2) A path left of the fence avoids any road walking and passes the bottom of the paved path to Mam Tor (for a shortcut, turn left here and follow the path over Mam Tor to Hollins Cross, waypoint 9). Follow the obvious bridleway, swinging left, then right in front of a small building and continuing ever-upwards to the road below Mam Nick. Just before Greenlands, go through a gate on the left and turn immediately right (signposted “Mam Tor”). Follow the lane as it drops to cross a stream and winds between high banks. ( 1) Cross the river and continue past the farm. At a T-junction turn right, then left into the lane to Hardenclough Farm. ( D/A) From Stonecroft drive, turn right and walk past the church and then under the railway.
