Allow 4-5 hours to complete this walk at a moderate pace, allowing for rest stops to take in the views. Parking is free and there is a tea room at the start/end for refreshments. The route is undulating but with few steep sections. This is a circular walk of just over 7 miles, using clearly-marked moorland trails and grassy paths. The second half to Foxlow Edge and Errwood Hall takes in beautiful woodland, riverside trails, and even historic ruins. The first half of the route up to Shining Tor and Cats Tor covers wild, open heather moorland, with huge views of Cheshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and into Wales. This short walk rewards you richly for only minimal effort and distance, offering a little of everything in terms of terrain and views.
