It runs roughly parallel with the Pennine Way but provides access for horse riders and cyclists as well as walkers. The trail is around 205 miles (330 km) long,[1] extending from Derbyshire to Cumbria. It includes the 47-mile (76 km) Mary Towneley Loop and the 10-mile (16 km) Settle Loop.[1] In its southern part, it follows the High Peak Trail along the trackbed of the former Cromford and High Peak Railway.
