Station to Station across the COMBS MOSS - PEAK DISTRICT WALK by Public Transport
A stunning 5-mile hike across Combs Moss in the beautiful Peak District National Park, starting at Chapel-en-le-Frith train station and finishing at Buxton train station.

Along the way, we explore the breathtaking moorland scenery, discover an ancient Iron Age hill fort Castle Naze, and visit the crater of a WWII bomb-both fascinating pieces of history tucked into this scenic landscape.

Fernilee Reservoir - Goyt Valley (3 Mile circular Peak District Walk)

One place to view these leaves in all their glory is Fertile Reservoir in the Goyt Valley.

In my opinion, there are few spots in the Peak District as special as Axe Edge. Although far less popular (and maybe less featured) than many popular Peak District spots, the solitude and calm that can be found on Axe Edge on a good evening is hard to beat. Close to Buxton and with views that's stretch across the entire national park on a clear day, Axe edge delivers on so many levels. On one o...

    There's a bus from Buxton to Macclesfield it's the 58 and only £2, it's a nice walk in to Errwood from the Cat and Fiddle.

      Thank you for letting me know, I hadn't considered that bus route as a way to access the goyt 👍 I really do need to make more use of the public transport up here rather than just relying on a car.

    Thanks Thom another great video for walking in the Peak District national park. Looks beautiful and rugged. Never completed this walk - is it challenging in terms of steepness / uneven surfaces or just like path from Pyms Chair to Shining Tor? Thanks again - looking forward to the next video. 😀

    • @ThomTopics
      @ThomTopics День назад

      Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The pathways are all pretty good and not tough going. It doesn't have the flagstones that you have near pyms chair but as long as it hasn't been raining to heavily the paths are good. In terms of steepness it is not too bad also. It's a little bit of a climb on to the platau at either end (but no scrambling needed) once up there the pathways are fairly flat.

      @ThomTopics 28 дней назад

      Thank you for taking the time to watch, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I havn't gotten round to plotting this route on allTrails yet unfortunately but if you look for Derbyshire Bridge car park (what3words - exotic.bells.hinders or Map Grid ref: SK01857155) that will mark the start of the walk on the video. The route never strays more than 50m or so from the river/reservoirs following them downstream in a northward direction so there is never much risk of going far off route. I hope this is helpful and I will try and get the route plotted on a map soon also. Thanks and have great week.
