Start Time 10:00 am
Walk Name Only a two trig walk
Description We head out of the car park and head into the village for a very short
distance where we then cross over the road & head down a lane and
across farm & woodland till we head up to Greatclose (this area is
know for sightings of the Black Deer so keep quiet & have your eyes
peeled). We then head across & into Clough Wood and keep going till
we meet up with Oldfield Lane where we take the path through the
woods and head to the top end of Darley Bridge and the church. We
then have a short but steep climb to the top of Oaker Hill and head to
the trig 'Oaker Hill' we will have lunch here. After lunch we carry on
along the top of the hill heading down and pick up a path heading to
Darley Bridge & onto Darley Dale & Churchtown village. We carry on
the footpath which runs along side the railway (dismantled railway)
which takes us into Rowsley (lunch stop). We then head out and along
the lane to Stanton Woodhouse and carry on to the top where we come
out at the Nine Ladies Stone Circle. We are now on Stanton Moor
(second trig of the day) the trig is called Moor Plantations, thanks for
asking. We skirt around Birchover on the way back to Winster village
