This 8.4-mile loop trail near Matlock, Derbyshire. Generally considered a easy/moderate challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 31 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, running, and walking.

The Peak District abounds with former railways now converted into scenic walking and cycling trails. The former Cromford and High Peak Railway, now the High Peak Trail, is one of the best.

This is a gentle Peak District walk across the rolling pastures of the south eastern part of the limestone plateau that covers most of the 'White Peak', following the old railway line along the High Peak Trail and the beautiful Cardlemere Lane track. The distinctive summit of Minninglow, with its Neolithic burial chambers is also visited courtesy of a new concessionary path. Despite the gentle nature of the walk it is worth bearing in mind that it is almost entirely above 1000ft and in bad weather the plateau can be very bleak place indeed.

Although not quite the highest hill in area, Minninglow Hill (372m) is certainly one of the most prominent, its coppice being a familiar landmark from many parts of the Peak District and walking around the outside of the trees there are tremendous views in all directions. In the coppice are some excellently preserved Neolithic burial mounds and chambers.
