This walk initially ascents Axe Edge, which is on open access land, but the walking is fairly straightforward. Fantastic views from the trig point. We then descent to the outskirts of Buxton to cross the A57 (busy) to thread an interesting, wandering route, heading south through a variety of landscapes including ancient mining and quarrying landscapes, an HSE testing site, a forgotten packhorse bridge and quiet farmland with echoes of an earlier era. Mainly good footpaths, with a little mud and boggy ground in wet conditions (as usual).
