Directions

1. From the car park, turn right heading north along Marys Lane, passing the Old Nags Head pub.
2. After about half a mile from the car park, turn right following the fingerpost signed Grindsbrook.
3. Cross the bridge and head left onto the well defined slabbed path.
4. Continue along the path for about 1.5 miles, ascending up Grindsbrook.  Note that the well-defined path becomes less so and much rockier. Some scrambling may be necessary.
5. Once at the top on Edale Moor, signified by a large cairn, turn left along the path towards Grindlow Knoll.
6. Continue along the path from where it eventually descends back into Edale, bringing you out at the Old Nags Head pub.
7. After refreshments, head south back along Marys Lane, retracing your steps back to the car park.
