| 19th June | 6.8 miles | John and Jan | Start: Longnor - SatNav: SK17 0PA Route: Chrome Hill - Earl Sterndale - Longnor. Height gain: 1476.38 Feet: Map: Explorer OL 24. When viewed from the A53 at Axe Edge between Leek and Buxton, Chrome Hill stands out from the surrounding countryside, looking just like a dragon's back covered in rich velvet grass. This is the object of this walk starting from the 'Peak Practice' village of Longnor. Once on top the views are well worth the ascent, with large parts of Staffordshire and Derbyshire at your feet. Continuing, the walk makes its way to the quiet, peaceful village of Earl Sterndale before returning to Longnor across undulating meadowland. |
