| | | Peak District walking
Hi there,
You'll have to forgive me if this is in the wrong forum  I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of walking to the Chestnut Centre in the Peak District? I know this is not strictly wildlife, but I'm keen on having a short holiday in the Peaks and wanted to combine a visit to the Chestnut Centre in here. Lacking a car, I was wondering if anyone knew whether it was walkable from Edale or not; I would prefer not to get a taxi as that takes away the enjoyment of walking through the countryside (plus costs extra money!) lol. Any advice would be welcome  |

Well, I've never walked that way, but I've just measured it and it's around 4.5 miles, 1000ft of ascent, one way, so yes, depending on your fitness. You probably walk a mile or so around the centre too, so you're looking at 10 miles in total. |

Walking over from Edale wouldn't be a problem. I'd go via Jacobs Ladder and Edale Cross (the 'saddle' between Kinder and Rushup Edge). It sounds like a half decent walk.

Jim | It's been awhile for me as well, but I do recall similar obstacles.

I visited the Chestnut centre a few years ago and was a bit disappointed to be honest. Not that much to see!
The otters were lovely though!
