Essential InformationPublic Transport If you are planning to
walk a linear route you will probably require public transport to get
you back to your starting point; or you may just want to get to the
start of a walk by public transport. For impartial timetable information
for bus, coach, train, ferry, air and underground travel throughout
England use Traveline Weather For up to the minute local weather
forecasts contact the Met Office. This is especially important if you
are planning long walks in remote or upland areas.
The routes are waymarked with new signs and there are also many footpaths and open access land for walkers, in addition to these routes. Many of the routes converge on the junction of Black Harry Gate, once the entrance to demolished Black Harry Farm. Nearby is Black Harry Lane, one of a series of packhorse ways used to transport goods across the Peak District. In the early eighteenth century, travellers crossing the lonely moors over Longstone Edge were attacked and robbed by a highwayman who took the name of Black Harry. This area is fascinating to explore. Wind your way up remote limestone dales and criss-cross the ridge with its far-reaching views. Enjoy its landscape, history and wildlife including ravens, buzzards and other birds of prey flying the thermals. Try to spot rare butterflies, birds and plants. See how the geology has affected its use, shown by the past and present mines and quarries. Follow in the footsteps of others who have lived and worked in this area and call in at the many villages which surround this special place. Longstone Moor is unique. It is a hybrid landscape of heather on limestone where acidic and lime-loving plants co-exist. It is the largest area of limestone heath in the Peak District on one of the highest areas of the White Peak. for more information and to download a leaflet visit: www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/blackharry
