Walking the Limestone Way through the Peak District National Park over 3 days.
The Limestone Way is a 46 mile, long-distance footpath that goes through Derbyshire, England. Starting in Castleton in the North and continues all the way to Rocester, Staffordshire in the South. Travelling through the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park, named the White Peak due to the Limestone found in this area, the trail originally finished in Matlock, but was extended an extra 20 miles to connect with the Staffordshire Way in Rocester.
I walked the 46 miles over 3 days.

Excellent video. As a farmer and an avid walker who lives in Hartington. I can say I've never done this walk. It's now on my to-do list. I am currently doing the Ethal challenge I am on 65 of 95.

Enjoyed that Andy. It’s a nice trail isn’t it (apart from all of the cows!) Agree that the maintenance of the trail could do with a bit of an improvement, particularly beyond Matlock. Great to bump into you and feature on the video. It’s a big, small world isn’t it?

Yes a great walk, would of been nice to see something at the start or end to say it is the limestone way, and still a bit weird you don't go in Lathkill Dale lime gorge on the route but apart from that, enjoyed every mile, I walked another trail 2 weeks later and came across another youtuber that is often see in the Peak District and South Yorkshire, video to follow

Thanks, there are plenty of walks that connect to the backbone of the Limestone way, through White Peak Area

Great to see you back, Andy. Really enjoyed re-living the Limestone Way. Funny that you bumped into Anthony... it can be a small world in the Peaks. Shame about the day 2 campsite noise - never fun on a long hike. That abbey towards the end looked incredible and deserves an explore. Oh and cheers for the shout out. Looking forward to your next hike!

Hi, no worries about the shout out, I be surprised if Andy Beavers messages me as well lol - yes small world bumping into Anthony also bumped into another youtuber on another long distance walk last summer although that was further afield, Limestone a great walk the odd shop would make it better, while been off done some vids plus finding diff ways to present vids better, playing with a new all singing camera (camcorder) but manual is like an encyclopaedia!!

A great walk but as mentioned stock up before you go with food for the duration of the journey

Great commentary throughout there :) Is the campsite you stayed at the second night still there? I think I found it but it looks like it has to close this year due to planning permission? I was thinking of making it to Thorpe and camping on the hill there but looks like I'd get shot or trodden on by a cow 🤣 How did you get home from Rocester too? I'm planning to start at Hope train station and at Rocester pick up the Staffordshire way and get the train home from Uttoxeter.

Hi, I think the campsite is still there, but I think it's a seasonal one, Langcliffe Dale Farm SK233552, field to the left of the farm was the campsite, from Rocester I caught the bus from the centre of the village to Uttoxeter, than ran I think every 90 mins, thanks for watching

From Uttoxeter there is a main train station and buses that you can get back into the peak district, I went by train to Edale and then got the train back from Uttoxeter

@@ExpeditionHiker Well to be fair, if I had not lived near there to know how it's pronounced, I would have made the same mistake... but lets just keep that between us shall we! :)

Interesting question I would have to think about that one but might even think and do that route at something- thanks for watching

For info, Rocester pronounced Roaster Another one of those ridiculous English place names. I’m looking at you, Bicester and Towcester! (To name a few)
