Ring of Trees
A circular walk around Buxton through its woodlands
This 10 mile (16km) walk passes through most of the woods that surround Buxton. To complete the ‘core’ walk comfortably, allow 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
It divides into three sections:
- Grin Wood (Poole’s Cavern) to Ashwood Dale (3.1 miles/5km)
- Ashwood Dale to Gadley Wood (2.8 miles/4.5km)
- Gadley Wood back to Grin Wood (4.1 miles/6km)
You can spend a day completing the entire walk and gain an ever-changing perspective of the town from its woods. Or pick a bite-sized chunk of the circle, covering one or more woods, choosing a direction and a starting point that suits the time you have available and your particular interests.
