April 2, 2021A beautiful hike in the Peak District. At arrival not many parking places left. On a sunny day it’s a relaxing hike. Lunch at the river/waterfall is nice. It can be busy with people. The dog enjoyed it too. We extended our walk and have seen some amazing views! It is worth a hike. Enjoy
March 20, 2021lovely views on the way to the waterfall
February 14, 2021November 15, 2020Pretty views but not spectacular
November 13, 2020October 24, 2020not great for the dog lots of livestock and roads
October 18, 2020Lovely. Watch out for the motor cross bikes.
August 31, 2020Super trail. We also did this backwards and found it worked much better
August 1, 2020July 20, 2020Very peaceful trail. Road portion only makes up about 5% of the entire walk. True to the moderate rating. The ongoing water stream alongside us made the walk!
July 13, 2020Three Shires Head route is brilliant for a day out. Paths well cleared with only a few minor difficulties. In the Peaks itself, conditions change extremely quickly and the paths aren't great. Little to no signage throughout. Certainly need a good pair of boots, kit and decent hiking knowledge.
May 26, 2020Nice walk especially the off road section down to 3 shires bridge which is lovely very popular especially on a sunny day but ok when we did it. in hignsite I would do it the opposite way round next time to avoid the steep climb at the end. 4 star due to too much road walking.
May 15, 2020One of the best trails I’ve had. We went anti clockwise and bumped into a farm of Llamas and Emu’s. We followed the trial then to the waterfalls. Instead of using the path we actually walked along the embankment up stream which was beautiful. Lots of wildlife, lots of places to stop and enjoy the views. Really recommend
January 18, 2020The perfect trail! Some steep but short climbs in parts but nothing too strenuous. The waterfall is beautiful but does get busy with walking groups! Loads of animals along the way and really picturesque. There’s a nice pub ten minutes before the end of the trail too called the knights table. Can’t wait to do this one again!
