Another hot day was promised in the forecast so we chose a walk
with an appreciable amount of shade.
We started off at the café at the old Grindleford train station,
starting off with a brew of tea.
Then we left the café by the steep set of stone steps leading to
the road from Grindleford to the A625 and after crossing the road,
another st of rough steps up through the woods to the Longshaw
Estate.
We made our way through the parkland on the estate to the old
hunting lodge where we had a snack at the National Trust café.
Snack over, returned partway along our earlier route on the estate
then veered off to the A625 at the top of the Padley Gorge where it
was absolutely packed with picknickers and kids playing in the stream
and there was a total of three ice cream vans parked at the roadside.
We bought and ice cream and then followed the gorge path back down
to Grindleford café.
