브래드놉 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

a short sharp climb up over the top and a pleasant run down the other side towards leek

we had to turn back at this point. The route is up these steps to get past the tunnel. Not easy especially with an ebike.

When the Holy Father Leo XIV greeted the faithful in May 2025 – immediately after his election as Pope – his first words deeply touched not only people of the Catholic faith. Perhaps the following words from him may also be a helpful reflection for the hiker pausing before this small sacred monument: + "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Leo XIV)

beautiful walk. one of my favorites

Part of the Leek Branch of the Caldon Canal the pool allows boats to turn around before the tunnel. The Churnet Way long distance walking trail and NCN 559 follow the canal towpath past the pool.

Definitely recommend walking this short section in both directions, up and down

Steep ascent going up to circa 20 deg but highly recommended to keep your fitness up 😁

It’s located between Ipstones and Above Church village. From the road just follow the farm and you’re there. Did I mention it’s on a private land 🫢?
