Derwent Edge

Derwent Edge Walk
9.5 miles

This is quite a long strenuous walk but it is well worth doing and will give you some amazing views along the valley and over the reservoir. It travels along the Derwent Edge and on to the summit of Back Tor. The walk then descends along the Foulstone Road track to Strines and Dale Dike Reservoirs. A final climb is needed at the end of the walk which will take you back to the path back to the car park. You will need to cross a main road from the car park at the start and end of the walk. To reward yourself with some food and drink after this epic walk, there is The Yorkshire Bridge Inn and the Ladybower Inn nearby, or the Ladybower Cafe.
