Stanage Edge & Bamford Edge Circular – Guided Hike

Join us for a scenic guided walk along two of the Peak District’s most iconic edges. This circular hike combines dramatic gritstone cliffs, wide-open moorland, and far-reaching views across the Hope Valley and Ladybower Reservoir. It’s a rewarding walk with plenty of time to enjoy the landscape at a relaxed pace.
