Walk details
A circular route around Great Longstone and Little Longstone in the Peak District.
Great Longstone village lies under the ridge of Longstone Edge, 2 miles from Bakewell. It has some charming old cottages along the main street, a handsome Georgian Manor House and a pretty church dating from the 13th century. Former industries included lead mining and shoemaking, now it is a quiet residential village along with nearby hamlets of Rowland, Hassop and Little Longstone.
