  • Limestone Loop
    LIMESTONE LOOP These three. and. four day walking holidays are ideal for independent walkers wishing to explore some of England's finest scenery in the Peak District National Park. The walking is not strenuous, being mainly through the gentle limestone landscape of the "White Peak". The walk is designed to start from Buxton (easy to reach by car, rail or bus), with the three day version finishing at Bakewell (from where there are regular daily buses for the return to Buxton). However, if you have more time to spare, the four-day option allows time to explore the delightful town of Bakewell or to visit medieval Haddon Hall, followed by a superb walk back to Buxton. Buxton to Hartington 12 miles/19km .This is a pleasant walk, which takes in a comfortable walker's pub in Crowdicote en- route. From Buxton you will climb up the valley side below Grinlow, eventually dropping down to the road between Harpur Hill and the Leek-Buxton road. The path climbs Countess Cliff and heads south to Diamond Hill, so named for the clear pieces of quartz to be found here. The route then climbs Leap Edge to reach Dalehead. From here head for the village of Hollinsclough with its little chapel and pretty school (now replaced by a more functional building), then take a delightful stroll down the valley through Glutton Bridge to Crowdicote and the Packhorse Inn. Continue down the valley to Pilsbury Castle Hill then climb out of the valley avoiding the road. You will soon reach Hartington, where a short climb up Hall Bank brings you to the Youth Hostel.
