We climbed the steps
from the car park and crossed a road then again climbed more steps
rising through woods until we reached the top and the path levelled
out.
This brought us to a
wall and a gate opening on to the Longshaw Estate and after crossing
a lovely open wooded area, we headed for the beautiful old Lodge
which is now owned by the National Trust and had cake and tea in the
café.
Afterwards we followed
a path through the Estate arriving at the same road as before, from
the opposite side and further along towards Higgar Tor and after
crossing the road and again passing through a wall with a gate, we
were at the top of Padley Gorge.
We followed the path
as it gradually descended the wooded gorge parallel to the stream
Soon we were back at
the road passing Totley Tunnel and we had more tea and a snack in
Grindleford Cafe, one of the best in the Peak!
