Once you get to the top of black hill good luck finding the the path that makes it a loop haha. Crossing the streams is a nightmare at times so bring good footwear. Other than that absolutely beautiful

Moderate hike. Good panoramic views of the manifold valley from ecton hill. Thor’s Cave a highlight.

Lovely walking from Hartington to Milldale to Dovedale Steps alongside the river and then back into Thorpe.
Mostly very easy walking with a few hills here and there (it is the Peak District after all).
Absolutely gorgeous.
Very quiet Hartington to Milldale and then the path becomes a highway the closer to Dovedale you get!

Great casual walk. A little challenging elevation but nothing treacherous. Dog friendly and very well signposted.

Great hike for beginners like me. Long descents followed by a mad scramble from Grindleford to Bole Hill quarry that will test the fittest. I didn’t take a backpack and was exhausted by the time I’d reached Owler Tor. Then for one of the many paths down hill to the top of Padley Gorge

I first walked the Pennine Way in 1985 when I was 17. The conditions that day were awful ... torrential rain, a quagmire peat bog and only 1 boot (the first became sole-less after the first mile). Fast-forward 34 years and I’ve repeated the walk. Great weather and views ... thanks to all the work done to protect against erosion the path is now 80% on slabbed path - hard work on the legs and knees but much better than pear bog. I can highly recommend this walk. Stayed at the Old House B&B in Torside ... very comfortable ... before heading on for day 2.
