A long loop from Romiley Station through Chadkirk, past Goyt Hall Farm and around Brinnington, returning along the Peak Forest Canal. Takes 4 to 5 hours. Some sections are difficult to navigate because paths are sometimes indistinct, and the booklet suggests this is possibly not a walk to do alone. The route includes derelict industrial scenery and passes under and over a noisy motorway, along with some delightful stretches on old railway lines now converted to walkways. An alternative that avoids the industrial estate is described at stop 5.
