    Tips

    Hiking

    Shining Cliff Woods is a great area for walking (and for mountain biking although that is not officially allowed!) but be aware that the map of the area suggests that people can walk along the west of the River Derwent to Whatstandwell and then access the train or buses. However, the caravan site (Haytop) just south of Whatstandwell is not at all welcoming and there are massive gates / fences / CCTV / Keep Out signs. You may find you either have to climb a steep hill to reach New Road or return back to Ambergate.

    Hiking

    Parking is found across the road from the entrance on Holly Lane but it's limited. nice large woodland plenty to explore. Only done a small part myself looking forward to going back
