We started and ended this walk at The Miners Head in Winster where we were camped, they do have a car park and there is some on road parking.
Another walk where there is a mixture of everything, nothing too strenuous with regards to hills etc. Theres open fields, woodland and rocks to climb over if you wish to, the pathways are well signposted and for the trig point baggers there is Staunton Moor Trig Point on this route, and if you are marking off any of the Limestone Way then it covers some of that too.
You can have a bit of a splash about in the village of Youlgrave where there is a cute stone bridge and small stream which makes a great photo opportunity if its not too busy.

The Druid Inn in Birchover (www.druidbirchover.co.uk) is a stop on this walk, a beautiful, friendly pub that has a nice dog friendly bar area and a huge garden at the front, serving Peak District Ales, it's a must visit in our opinion. We just missed opening hours of The Flying Childers Inn in Stonton In Peak, which was annoying because it has numerous awards including the winner of the Great Birtish Pub Awards 2021 - Best Pub For Dogs. We also made a last stop at The Old Bowling Green in Winster before heading back to The Miners Standard for a top notch dinner before hitting the sack.
The walk started by following the Limestone Way, We made our way past Hermits Cave and through woodland that lead up to Robin Hoods Stride which is a rock formation in the Peak DIstrict Countryside. It was a bit of a foggy late October day but that only added to the mystical feel to this walk. Walking up through some woodland on top of a a moor like terrain you get to the Nine Ladies Circle, believed to be nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on Sunday. Next to this circle there is a tree with rememberance ribbons and messages tied to it. You then walk across to the Staunton Moor Trig Point S4151 which again was a bit foggy so I'm sure the views are much better than the pictures suggest. A few areas you can let the dogs off lead but just be mindful of ground nesting birds and wildlife etc.
