Edale to Hope Cross

An enjoyable winters hike from the village of Edale to Hope Cross and back. A trip of  around 7 miles through the Vale of Edale.


A bridge across Grindbrook.


One of the many streams flowing down from Kinder Scout into the Vale.


Hope Cross - A stone sign post on the old Roman Road.



Back in Edale looking across towards Mam Tor and Hollins Cross after a small snow shower.
