Longnor sits on the edge of the Peak District where Derbyshire meets Staffordshire, and these walks make use of the surrounding hills, valleys and farmland to create a varied rural route.

Both routes pass through Crowdecote and by the Pack Horse Inn, before continuing across fields near the River Dove, while the longer walk adds a climb up High Wheeldon for wider views across the surrounding countryside.
