Circular walks from short strolls to full-day hikes that start from the Trail or cross it along the way – each with a free overview and photos, plus a printable step-by-step guide and GPX file to buy.

Where to park, which buses stop near the trail and the nearest railway stations – with a map of the main access points from Wyedale near Buxton to Bakewell, to help you plan your day out.

In this section I’ll try to explain the history of the many features and places both on and near to the Trail, including some wonderfully picturesque villages with their pubs, cafes and parking spots.
