02 Oct 2023I walked this route from Alfreton in August. It begins like Crialf1, following good footpaths as far as South Wingfield. There are refreshments available in S Wingfield. From here the route heads on footpaths to meet the road at Moorwood Moor. It is easier to follow the quiet lane to Wheatcroft, and then a footpath link towards Lea, which intersects the lane leading to Lee Moor Road. There is not much traffic here and a little further we join a pavement through Lea. The pub marked on the map (Jug & Glass) is not open any longer (converted to holiday lets) so don't get your hopes up.
Here we join the route of Matcri2 on a footpath which begins in Lea and takes us uphill to meet Hearthstone Lane (a bridleway) That can be followed over Bilberry Knoll - good views - to Hearthstone. From here a footpath down through the wood and across the fields to Riber. There are lanes around the castle and then a steep descent into Matlock on a paved trod.
I enjoyed this route. It is reasonably direct. The road sections are quiet and there are good views over the surrounding countryside.
