Longnor Walks and Route Maps

A shorter circuit from the village of Longnor, taking in farmland, two river valleys and the village of Crowdecote. Early on it passes the parish church and Beggar's Bridge, then follows Green Lane on towards Crowdecote, where The Pack Horse Inn makes a handy stop.

From there the route crosses the River Dove and heads on to the River Manifold, with a couple of moderate climbs and some stretches on quiet lanes. It finishes back in Longnor, where Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese and two cafes are close at hand.

A longer, more varied circuit from Longnor that climbs onto High Wheeldon for wider views over the surrounding countryside. After the parish church and Beggar's Bridge, the route follows Green Lane and passes Aldery Cliff before the steep pull up to High Wheeldon, the most demanding part of the walk that has a very steep ascent to the top.

Back down in the valley you cross the River Dove and reach Crowdecote, where The Pack Horse Inn offers refreshments. The route then crosses the River Manifold, with a couple more moderate climbs and some road walking, mostly on quiet lanes, before finishing in Longnor with its pub and cafes.
