This route goes around Bamford Moor taking in Bamford and Stanage Edges. This moor has for many years been part of a private estate and walkers were not encouraged to walk over the moors except for the right of way that cuts across the area. In recent years, with the new legalisation, access to this moor has become easier. Consequently there are few paths in this area compared to the more popular parts of Edges. Much of Bamford Moor is wet underfoot with few disernable paths. This route keeps to the edge as much as possible. There are great views over to the west as well as over the moor to Stanage Edge.
