Hiking from Hathersage

This is one of many stops that you can visit in the Hope valley line and well worth staying on the train that extra few minutes to reach it. The train goes from Manchester Piccadilly and if you miss it you can jump on the Glossop train with the same ticket and use the same map  "OL1 " to plot a route .
Once in the town center you follow the road to the left past the butchers shop and then cross over, the first steep path on your right takes you to cloggers lane were the walk really starts.

The route is easy and Stanage edge is clear to see from the top of cloggers lane, after taking one of the well highlighted paths across the moors onto the edge you can follow footpath all along passing a few rock climbers along the way. When you get to Upper Burbage bridge a good route is to descend down into Chatsworth not forgetting to stop at the church to pay your respects to Robin Hoods chum little John who is buried there. The next visit for me to this beautiful village will be in the summer months so that i can take advantage of the outdoor swimming pool.
