This lovely walk will take us over some of the incredible sights on the eastern side of the Peaks without much legwork at all! We’ll start at The Fox House and walk out over the Carl Wark hillfort and Higger Tor, before heading gradually downwards into Hathersage.
A medium-length, medium-paced walk for adults with places to chat in between longer sections of focused listening. Hathersage and The Fox House are both served by the very reliable, hourly 272 bus service, with trains also running hourly as another option for the return journey. Wear weather-appropriate clothing, bring snacks/water, and please also bring something to make listening notes, such as a notebook and pen, or an audio recorder if you have one. I’ll provide printouts for everyone with a map, listening prompts, and some info about the area.
