Start of the walk
From the housing estate road, take the footpath heading across the slope towards Hay Wood.
Take care crossing the road here as speedy cars can catch you unaware on these bends.
This well worn path now takes you towards and above the Gritstone edges.
An extremely popular climbing venue with some of the best slab climbing in the area. Join the rock athletes below, or simply marvel from a respectful distance.
This log edge is a little less busy than it's neighbour, but offers beautiful views and secluded buttreses to explore.
Choose your path from the top of the crag down to the road near Warren Lodge.
Curbar suffered from the Great Plague in the 17th century in much the same way as Eyam, though about 30 years earlier. On the moors there are the gravestones of the Cundy family who lived at Grislowfield farm, Curbar.
The return route along the banks of the river offers a lovely contrast to the moorland edges above. keep your eyes out for birdlife, the names of which you may or may not know.
Again, take care of speeding drivers.
The name Froggatt derives from the fact that there were originally 17 fresh water springs situated in the village, three of which can still be seen.
This ancient track takes you towards the edge of the imposing looking woodland.
Depending on the time of year you visit, a myriade of woodland smells may great you as you make your way along the path.
From here you can turn left to the village of Grindleford and some refreshments at the local Inn.
Turn right up the hill towards the railway line.
Turn right and then right again after you have across the railway line via the footbridge. This path takes you back to the station.
To await your lift home . . .
