Route Description for Grindleford to Hathersage Walk
The Grindleford to Hathersage Walk is a popular family-friendly route due to its easy-to-navigate but varied terrain and scenic views across the Peak District landscape. The trail sets out near the Grindleford railway station and heads northwest through Bole Hill Wood, crossing a mix of forest and farmland terrain until you arrive in the charming village of Hathersage. Here, you can pop in and out of the shops or visit the grave site of Robin Hood’s companion Little John before continuing south along the trail. The return journey of the walk follows closely alongside the flowing waters of the River Derwent until you arrive back in Grindleford. At this point, you will need to traverse the woodlands to the northeast in order to return to the starting point of the walk.
