    Dennis Knoll Walk

    The Dennis Knoll Walk is a short route in the Peak District that will take you up a portion of the Stanage Edge for some amazing views overlooking the Derwent Valley. While out on the trail, you will pass through the charming Stanage Plantation and climb the moor to the top of the edge before descending the hillside to walk through picturesque farms. This is a great walk to get acquainted with walking along the rocky escarpment without the hassle of a long distance route.

    Although it is only a quick route, the Dennis Knoll Walk offers a great opportunity for beginners or families to get out and explore the wonderful terrain that the Peak District has to offer. Setting out from the car park, the path heads through the wonderful forest atmosphere of the Stanage Plantation, before climbing up the hillside to the top of Stanage Edge.
