Peak District Walk:High Peak Junction and Crich
Overview
We start with a climb through Lea Wood to Upper Holloway, and a small descent, before we climb again to the highest point of the walk at Crich Memorial. (If you want to climb the tower, bring 50pence with you)
We then skirt the pretty village of Crich before dropping down to Crich Carr.
We then cross the River Derwent and Cromford Canal to the final part of our route back which takes us up the other side of the valley, before the final descent back through Birch Wood.
Distance: 7.5 miles
Leaders: Marie & Paul Moss
Location & Itinerary
Our Sunday walks are always popular and we go out all weathers and all through the year. All walks in the Peak District need to be classified as moderate due to the terrain. Easier Moderate Walks are generally half day only around 6-8 miles.
Full day or Harder Moderate walks are normally not more than 10-12 miles although sometimes slightly more in summer months.
If you've not done much hill walking recently regardless of your general fitness level, we'd recommend starting off on one of these shorter half day walks, typically of around 6 miles before tackling our slightly more serious full day walks.
The meet time is generally 10:15am for a start at 10:30am but some differ so please check the individual walks
