Full description: 

Embark on an adventure, starting at Cut Throat Bridge we will assend to the Whinstone Lee Tor viewpoint, where majestic panoramas await. We then take a wander along Derwent Edge, where nature's epic rock 'n' roll stage awaits, passing the mighty Salt Cellar rock formation (don't attempt to season your chips with it!), the enchanting Cakes of Bread rocks (resist the urge to nibble!), and feel a sense of triumph as you spot the iconic Wheel Stones standing tall (no, they won't spin you back in time!). But wait, there's more! Continue your adventure to Lost Lad, a mysterious landmark that may or may not mark where a lad got lost. Finally, make your way back to civilization by tracing the edge of Ladybower Reservoir. We the rejoice in the refreshing embrace of the pub, which is finally back open, where tales of your daring escapades can be swapped over pints of cheer and laughter. Here's to conquering the wild, discovering hidden wonders, and crafting memories that will leave you smiling for years to come.
