Higger Tor- Carl Wark- Padley Gorge-The 3 Edges- Burbage Rocks, Peak District hike

Join me on this 14.6 mile hike starting at Burbage Bridge car park and heading straight up Higger Tor, which is an Ethel… if you’re into that kinda thing! From there it’s a short hop to Carl Wark, and Iron Age Fort with stunning 360 views over Hathersage Moor and Burbage Rocks. After defending Carl Wark, it’s a short plod across Hathersage Moor, crossing over Burbage Brook, before getting on more well-worn footpaths through Yarncliffe Wood on the Longshaw Estate, as you enter Padley Gorge. You spend several miles traversing the ancient woodland, before eventually emerging at the foot of Froggatt Edge, which merges into Curbar Edge, before heading back via White Edge, bagging the trig, and defending back onto the Longshaw Estate. From this point it’s a couple of miles back along the footpath below Burbage Rocks which tower impressively above you. The footpath is well made and suitable for most abilities (unsure about wheelchair access onto the path), before finally crossing back over Burbage Brook at the foot of the car park. I’d rate the route as a 2/5 for technical difficulty and overall, 3.5/5 for views. I tend to prefer the drama of Hope valley and the Dark Peaks, so heading towards the Dales and the White Peaks wasn’t fully my bag, but many will find this route very pleasing. Good footwear is required, especially in Autumn and Winter months when it’s wet and boggy. Follow me on Insta at @deb_lord_outdoors
