Whaley Bridge to Buxton
A station-to-station walkCheshireNorth of England
Great views across the Goyt Valley. An almost entirely road-, lane- and track-based route between two towns, with a long steady climb out of Whaley Bridge along a quiet tarmac lane. Good open views across the Goyt Valley. Some rocky, rubbly track sections and a flight of steps. Trains between the two stations are regular and take under 20 minutes. No mid-route facilities, so bring food.
Hilly: a third on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.
Lunch: No mid-route facilities; bring your own food.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk. A short section joins the A-road at Long Hill where there is no pavement, so you walk on the verge of a 50mph road. Some rough rocky tracks.
