Walking in Derbyshire: 60 Circular Walks Across the County

Product Information

Robin Hood gets quite a few mentions in the Peak District, as it’s not too far from his home in Sherwood Forest in Nottingham. There’s Robin Hood’s cave on Stanage Edge and also Robin Hood’s well near Padley Gorge. Limestone Way signs (plus look for the green circular sign) I have always found Cicerone guidebooks to be well produced with excellent introductions to the area in question and containing detailed descriptions of well-chosen walks. This new guide is no exception. At the footpath, turn left, then after 700 metres, you’ll reach the road with the signpost to Robin Hood’s Stride (at the end of stage 4).

You can start the walk at Elton, follow the route instructions, stage 1 to Tomlinson Wood andinstead of bearing left, walk straight on, descending towards to Harthill Moor Farm.
