Join us for this popular, roughly 5-mile (8 km) circular walk starting at Lea Bridge in Derbyshire which is the High Peak Junction Car Park (Lea Rd, Matlock DE4 5AE). It serves as a key access point for the Cromford Canal. The walk combines the tranquil Cromford Canal with hilly woodland paths. The route typically traverses through Lea Wood, High Peak Junction, and along the canal towpath, often featuring historic sites like Leawood Pump House, offering an easy to moderate grade walk that can be muddy after rain so please wear suitable walking boots. Afterwards we will take lunch at The Horse and Jockey .6 Brackenfield Ln, Wessington, Alfreton DE55 6DW (fa few minutes drive away). As this walk is some miles away it would be great if attendees could offer lifts and car share.
