It is vital that you do your own research, take a map and make decisions that are best for you and your group. Remember, it is best you do not rely on your phone to navigate the hills around Edale. It is easy to get lost and service can be patchy at best.
If you or anyone you meet needs assistance, call 999 and ask for the POLICE then MOUNTAIN RESCUE once you've been put through. Then stay in the same spot until they call you back.
Pay attention to signage, take your rubbish home and please respect the working farms, delicate flora, fauna and the local community.
The Ollerbrook Farm Walk is every Edalians favourite palette cleanser. Perfect to blow the cobwebs away at any time of the day.
It’s a short and sharp family friendly walk that takes in some of the main features of the valley that many walk far further afield to enjoy. You’ll walk past the local church, The Old Nags Head, cross over a beautiful stone packhorse bridge (Gibraltar Bridge) walk the track to Ollerbrook Farm with Kinder Scout, The Nab and Ringing Roger to your left (or right if you come the other way) cut through the farm and back towards Edale Church with Losehill, The Great Ridge and Mam Tor undulating in the distance.
Please bear in mind it may be tricky if you’re walking with a stroller or a zimmer as there are a few steps, gates and a bumpy farm track to navigate. So if you’re on wheels it’s best to have a helping hand or pop into the Old Nags Head to while away 30 minutes by the fire until your group come back around.
