Embark on an easy hike through the varied landscapes of the Peak District, starting from Flash. This circular route covers 4.3 miles (6.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 524 feet (160 metres), leading you through secluded river valleys, mature woodland, and open moorland. You can expect to complete this journey in about 1 hour and 58 minutes, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and diverse scenery.
When planning your visit, be aware that the trail features rough, rocky tracks and can become quite boggy after rain, so proper waterproof footwear is highly recommended. You will encounter several stiles along the way, including one ladder stile, which means the route is generally not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. Always check local weather conditions before heading out to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.
The highlight of this trail is the iconic Three Shires Head, a historic spot where an 18th-century packhorse bridge crosses the River Dane. Here, you will find beautiful waterfalls and natural pools, perfect for a refreshing paddle or even a wild swim on a warm day. The route also offers expansive views across the Dane Valley towards notable landmarks like Ramshaw Rocks and The Roaches, showcasing the stunning natural beauty of the region.
