There's a short nature trail there which takes you to a picturesque pond and great views across the hills.
Head towards Buxton then return to The Laurels via Longnor, Warslow and Onecote, where you'll enjoy some great roads and equally enjoyable views.
After passing through Ipstones you arrive at Froghall where you can visit the Churnet Valley Steam Railway or wander around Froghall Wharf where the Caldon Canal and the River Churnet run.
