The highlight of our morning is the ascent of Shutlingsloe. Known as "The Matterhorn of Cheshire", Shutlingsloe offers a dramatic 'mountain' feel with a rewarding summit that provides a true bird's-eye view of the National Park. After refueling in the elegant town of Buxton, we dive into the mystical Lud's Church, a natural stone cleft steeped in Arthurian legend. We conclude our 'Triple-Walk' at Errwood Reservoir, where history meets nature among the ruins of an old manor house. By traveling in our 100% electric van, you’re ensuring that the pristine air of the Peaks stays that way.
