02/10 – Padley Gorge Tor Tour

For our next walk we’ll be visiting a place suggested by Lydia, Padley Gorge. Although it’s not the highest place in the Peak District it has spectacular scenery. We’ll park in Upper Padely on the road leading down to Gindleford Station and a small cafe. The walk will start in the wood of Padley Gorge, heading up the valley following the stream. We’ll then emerge out of the wood and continue up the stream until we’re on Burbage Rocks, looking over the Tor’s. At this point we’ll begin a tour of the key landmarks in the area, Higger Tor, Carl Mark, Mother Cap before returning back through the wood and back to the station.

On this walk we’ll be running a photography competition. Everyone on the walk can submit one photo from the day and we’ll get everyone to vote for their favourite.
