2. Buxton to Edale

A great day through Peak District pasture, dale and peaks to picturesque Castleton and on to edge of Kinder Scout at Edale. The route leaves from Buxton Opera House through the town to Tunstead and onto Hay Dale and Dam Dale. It then follows the same line as the Limestone Way over Old Moor to Castleton. From here stunning views are found as the route passes over Hollins Cross and down into Edale.
