Is there a way to get from the car park at Stannage Edge down to Hathersage without using the road?

The OSMcycle map on Bikehike suggests there’s a bridal way off of Birley Lane, [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=423459&y=383114&z=120&sv=423459,383114&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=672&ax=423459&ay=383114&lm=0 ]here[/url], is this right or is there a better way?

FP I think, not BW. Shame, as it's nice and wide and easy riding.

Not without cheeky trails being used.

Fwiw, Brookfield Manor never stopped me using thier nice quiet drive. 😉

You could go down Hurst clough - [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=422501&y=383399&z=120&sv=422501,383399&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=672&ax=422501&ay=383399&lm=0 ]street map[/url] - either all the way to Bamford, or as far as the BW which takes you towards hathersage

Turn right when you exit the car park after the plantation (or simply go straight on if you come down the causeway)

Hurst clough is currently quite a challenging descent, so good that DCC are planning to sanitise it soon
