This is one of my favourite walks in the Peak district,the main attraction being the gritstone escarpment of Froggat Edge but the rest of the walk has some interesting points too.
The starting point is the Fox House Inn on the A6187 heading into the Longshaw Estate,not long after Froggat Edge is reached and you follow this to a minor road leading into Curbar.
A right turn at the Mill takes you along the River Derwent for a couple of miles before reaching the B6521,follow this up the hill to Grindleford Station passing the Totley tunnel which was once Britains longest.
A punishing uphill through woods and next to the Burbage Brook brings you back to the attractive Longshaw Estate before finishing with a pint at the Fox House Inn.
