Walk Name Brown Knoll Plane Wrecks Walk
Description If you like your Peak District walks with a bit of adventure, this 7.5-mile route will be right up your street.
It sets off along the Pennine Bridleway before heading out over the wide-open moorland of Brown Knoll. You’ll bag a trig point (and an Ethel), visit two fascinating plane crash sites, pass the Cowburn Tunnel shaft and even find a quirky little stone igloo tucked away on the hillside. There are a few off-path sections, so it’s one for walkers who don’t mind a bit of navigation and a taste of the wilderness.
