About
We start in one of Chesterfields delightful outlying villages then climb steadily through ancient woodland to reach Stone Edge where we will be remined of our lead mining heritage before crossing the first of two moorland areas.
Here we shall cross both of the two sicks which go on to form the river Hipper.
At Upper Loads, a local hamlet, we shall see where besoms were once made before traversing sections of open farmland to return to Holymoorside after crossing the river Hipper as it winds its way towards Chesterfield.
