A walk for a summer late afternoon / evening. Milstone, in particular, looks good in the late sun with the red tones of the rock being accentuated by the redenning sun. This route starts at Grindleford station and walks up through the forest to reach Lawrencefield and then across the road to go along the top and back along the bottom of Millstone before returning to Grindleford station via Lawrencefield. Throughout there are great views down the Hope Valley.
