Sunday 21st June, 2026: Three Shires Head
Walk leaders: Angel & Lynne Here are the details of our June walk. Meet on Gradbach Mill Lane, by the entrance to the car park. The what3words for the start point is: ///slab.simmer.blossom Grid ref: SJ 99901 66217. The car park is small but there is an overflow into a farmer’s field for £5. Cash or card. Public toilets and cafe at Gradbach Mill are a short walk away: Gradbach Mill, Quarnford, Buxton, SK17 0SU This circular walk of about 5 - 8 miles (depending on weather) starts at Gradbach car park to climb up well defined trails (although muddy and wet), including the Dane Valley Way (865 ft minimum elevation). The walk takes in fabulous views and the stunning Pannier’s Pool and the pack horse bridge. This is steeped in history and is where the rivers of Cheshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire meet, crossing the River Dane. We also cross some streams, loose shale and boggy moorland. Wonderful views include Danebower Colliery ventilation chimney. The walk is on mainly well maintained paths but wet muddy ground is unavoidable and walking poles are recommended. Dogs need to be on leads as there are sheep grazing. Most styles are easy to pass through. There are some ladder styles. Bring waterproof clothing, a drink and packed lunch as usual. There are lovely viewing spots for breaks. There is also the option to visit Wincle at the end of the walk for refreshments. We look forward to seeing you on the day Notts HD New to Nottingham HD?
For those of you who have not walked with us before, we normally bring a packed lunch and walk for around 4 - 4.5 hours, with some people stopping for tea & refreshments before and afterwards. What to bring If you are new, you might want to read what you need to bring (food, drink, clothing) and a bit more general information about the walks on our general info page on this site.
