A Stanage circuit

Park in the Peak Park car park near North Lees below Stanage Edge.
Leave the top side of the car park follow the path towards the plantation and beyond up onto the top of Stanage Edge, close to where Long Causeway, and ancient byway passes over the edge.
Having expended much energy climbing to the high ground, now follow Long Causeway west and south to descend to the cattle grid and the road near Dennis Knoll.
Take a left along the road then right to follow the eastern side of the wood and head south down Sheepwash Bank, before picking up the path that takes you through the yard of Green's House.
Pass through heading east and follow the path before passing above North Lees hall and onwards to come out behind the toilet block just along the road from the car park.

Points to note

• These walks are listed as a record of walks that we have done. If you wish to follow them then you do so at your own risk.
• Distances given are those recorded on our GPS as Track Distance.
  Actual distance walked may be slightly longer, due to the way that the two distances are calculated. This article explains why.
• Times given may or may not include breaks.
• You'd expect on a circular walk that the Ascent and Descent values would be the same, right?
  Well, yes, but sometimes I didn't stop the track at the exact same place I started it, and also sometimes it takes a while to get a strong enough 3D fix for a reasonably accurate altitude setting.
• Any photos shown will be of the ground covered by the walk, but may cover more than one visit.
