WHITE PEAK WAY - Day 3
Youlgrave to Alstonefield - 13 miles

A bull's head ... at the Bull's Head !!

All ready to go

Heading down to the river, leaving Youlgeave

Looking down the river valley ...

... and crossing the River Bradford

Fine views back to Youlgeave village from Mawstone Farm

Derelict barn, Mawstone Farm

Great open countryside

Burycliffe Quarry, disused, approaching Elton

Overgrown path ...

... leading to the Burycliffe horse troughs on Gratton Lane

Information board, Gratton Lane

Lime kiln, Gratton Dale

Striding out down Gratton Dale

A quick break ...

... then continue down Gratton Dale

"After about a mile, you come face to face with a most imposing and impressive limestone railway embankment". No Kidding !!

Hitting the High Peak Trail

Not the most distinct trail ...

... but there are always on-lookers to show the way

This is what we call open countryside

Carolyn, 'stile-ish' as always ...

Any guesses??

A thing of beauty - Biggin sewage treatment works!

Biggin Dale starts narrow ...

***

... but gradually gets wider ...

Welcome ..!!

Cave entrance, Biggin Dale

"Descend this quiet, attractive and ever-deepening gorge until you meet ...

... the River Dove"

Bridge over the River Dove ...

... bound for Alstonefield
