What better way to spend a summer Sunday in the beautiful White Peak area of the Peak District with plenty of flowers, wildlife and rolling hills.

This is a lovely route starting in the cute village of Longnor which has a general store + plenty of pubs (maybe a drink at the end?). We’ll head to Hollinsclough Honesty Shop which is full of local produce + hiking snacks, before heading over to Chrome Hill & Parkhouse Hill - the 2 limestone jagged peaks of the mighty Dragon’s Back!

Route Summary:

7 miles + 400m elevation (spread across the route)
