    You will need to double back 1/4 mile onto the A621(towards Sheffield)at Owler Bar if approaching from B6057 or B6054 from The Sheffield Park Hotel

     

    There are a couple of 6 car lay bys at SK 286 76707 about 1 mile after Owler Bar, but they fill up quite early, with walkers cars.

     * Please be aware that vehicles parked outside the houses in Rowsley Village may course grid- locking at SK 26000 66252,

    Post Code DE4 2JE, mid morning, onwards

    If there are a lot of cars queuing to turn onto the B6012 off the A6, or into the Peak Village Shopping Centre it may be quicker to approach Chatsworth the long way around, via Bakewell, or for those who are feeling adventurous, over the tops via Beeley Moor and Beeley Plantation.

     

    I have not had chance to test every approach, if anyone spots any errors, before the big day, please email me

    Regards

    Burton
