White to Dark Way - 3 Day Walk at Bakewell, Derbyshire

In this short video, we join the group on their second day of the new trail from the White Peak to the Dark Peak; 27.5 miles through the very best of the Peak District.

Day 1: Bakewell to Litton, 7 miles
Starting from the home of the Bakewell Pudding the trail follows the river Wye before joining the Monsal Trail to go through the Headstone tunnerl, over the famous viaduct to leave the railway for the river Wye through Cressbrook Dale to finish at Litton.
Day 2: Litton to Hathersage, 9.5 miles
Leaving the hamlet of Litton the trail follows easy footpaths to Eyam, famous for being the plague village in 1665, some climbing here to Sir William Hill anad the descent to the secluded Brertton Clough. Continue to pass Offerton Hall and cross the river Derwent into Hathersage.
Day 3: Hathersage to Hope, 11 miles
The trail now crosses to the Dark Peak, leaving Hathersage, ,past Little John's grave and slowly climbing to Stanage Edge - a climbers paradise. Stunning views abound all along here. At the end of the edge the trail descends to ladybower reservoir and crosses the dam, this area was used by the Dambusters of 617 squadron for practice. After the woods it's the final climb to Win Hill, the perfect vantage point to reflect on the walk, descent into the village of Hope and have a well deserved drink!

Packed lunches will be needed and suitable walking kit.
