This is a public transport walk using the 272 service from Sheffield to Castleton, or the 279 service from Chesterfield to Castleton. Alternatively, it is possible to park at the Fox Inn and catch the bus back from Hathersage Post Office.

The walk ascends gently along Burbage Brook and onto Stanage Moor, before a steep, but very short climb leads to Stanage Edge at the Cowper Stone trig pillar. After traversing Stanage Edge for 2km, the walk descends gently into Hathersage.

This walk uses obvious and well-trodden paths, some of which are quite rocky and can be muddy.
