Highlights: The walks themselves - the 'Edges' are spectacular; Win Hill is a challenge - but at least this walk on day 2 went up the gentler side and came down the steeper one!
The Plough Inn- wonderful accommodation.
We would suggest you walking these paths again soon to make sure your directions regarding signage are still current. We would also recommend you stay in our room with 2 people at Dunscar Farm to see the shape of this room. We would recommend you spend some time and money supplying maps that are specific to the area to greatly increase the ease of use and enjoyment for the walkers.
The highlights of the walk were Stanage Edge and Win Hill and Mam Tor and Chatsworth. Two tips for future walkers:
1) On the Chatsworth day we walked the gardens and house until 4:00 in the afternoon so instead of completing the full walk afterwards, we walked to Curbur Edge and then called Penny’s Cabs to pick us up at the car park near the end of the edge. They were timely and friendly.
2) We used the maps to adjust our walks as needed and still take in the highlights. For example after walking up Win Hill we chose to walk down into Hope where we had a cider at the pub and then finished the walk to Castleton via the foot path that runs along the river between Hope and Castleton.

We did this trip as a bit of a family reunion of 5 sisters in our 50s and 60s and a niece in her 20s. The hotels were excellent and the staff very friendly. The walking notes are detailed and accurate. The routes are beautiful and there is enough variety to be interesting and enough climbing to be a bit of a challenge. We happened be at Chatsworth for a visit from Princess Anne. The staff at Dunscar farm drove us into town for dinner and picked us up after. The pick ups and luggage transfers all happened seamlessly. I would recommend this route and this company.
The views across the moors when the sun came out were the highlight for me. We discovered the heated outdoor pool in Hathersage, did experience all weathers, including 2 sharp hailstorms on the ridges, and due to the heavy rain some of the downhill paths became small streams so the going was often slow and slippery. Due to the wet we abandoned the third walk, explored Castleton instead, and took the bus to Bakewell which was a sightseeing tour in itself. We were rather surprised to find many businesses closed on a Thursday. This may be due to the low season, or may well be a local custom as market day is Monday.
We had the best time ever!! Never been on a walking holiday but we are hooked Inntravel were fantastic. Thank you will be booking again soon.
This was a fantastic short break, and we were so lucky to have had perfect walking weather. The transfer to Chatsworth on the morning of the first day meant we arrived over an hour before it opened, and so we decided to return to Chatsworth on our day home when we had more time to enjoy it. Fitting in a visit to Chatsworth plus a long walk seemed a little ambitious for us. The next day's walk from Hathersage to Castleton, whilst slightly shorter than the previous day, took us much longer with two hills to conquer and the countryside to admire. We were glad therefore of the shorter walk planned for the following day.
Both the Plough Inn and Dunscar Farm were good with very friendly hosts and excellent breakfasts. Dinner at the Plough Inn was excellent both nights and there were some good pubs in Castleton for the other nights - bring a torch if you want to walk back to the Farm afterwards.
Derbyshire is stunning and excellent for walking.
We had a very nice break, thank you.
The highlights for us were the variety of walks in beautiful country, along river banks and high up on the ridges; and the excellent food provided by the award-winning Plough Inn at Hathersage. A four-night, 3-day walking package in April was the perfect break.
