Grindleford Railway Station - Hathersage Booths - Kettle House - Grindleford Station

A short route, but passes an old historic chapel and continues along a farm track towards Hathersage Booths. The return is through a delightful and interesting wood and gradually brings the walker back to Grindleford Railway Station Café. On certain days, if you are lucky, you may be able to visit inside the medieval Padley Chapel.

The route takes the thirsty walker to the Millstone County Inn for refreshments and then the interesting walk through the wood starts. The wood is user-friendly. Three small streams can be crossed with ease. Even after heavy rain the path does not get muddy.

The walk is good for all walkers, but can give a person new to walking in the countryside the inclination to do more.

Very much enjoyed this walk, not very long but satisfying. Open views at first then closed in through woodland on the return make it varied and interesting. The section after the Chapel leading up to the main road is longer than the directions suggest. Also after you pass through the gate at waymark 12 turn right and the grassy path leads you back to the track, because you are lower than the track its a little difficult to spot.

This is a lovely walk and not too strenuous. Be aware there are sheep around almost every corner or the stretch from the chapel to the road so dogs on leads are a must. Also the steps mentioned at point 7 are slippery as undiscovered when I ended up sat on them instead of walking down them!!
